I mean it did, but god damn was it boring as an album. And I'm giving it some leeway cause it didn't... like... I mean I'm sure it had some good **** that I'm forgetting. But it was a giant step down from Christ Illusion, which was a legitimately good record. At least I can easily point to We've Come for You All and Christ Illusion with some damn good songs without having to go back and figure out what was **** and what wasn't.

Pretty sure it was all down to the thrash revival. One of the most boring musical events of all time. Hey, thrash was a thing, remember? You don't? Well here's a boring rundown of everything that was the least interesting. And a few ****ty albums by bands who did better in the 80s to boot. And hey Exodus still rule so let's pretend we had anything to do with that even though they were kicking ass with that live album in 1997!
