I would agree. Its about the album, as a whole in most cases.

Totally agree. "I really like track 4, you know, the one with the crazy riffing and constant tempo changes. Oh wait, that's all of the tracks." Death metal albums work great as a sort of tornado of riffs and solos where moments stand out to you but it's more about the overall atmosphere and just getting into the groove of it for 30-50 minutes.

it's ironic, or coincidental, whatever, that my first post was about how i find death metal to be a rather boring and generic genre. then Batty brought this album out and ****ed me in the ass with it. props.

4/5

damn batty way to ruin all the suspense i had created

what are we doing for the next album?? i know this round isn't done until tuesday but like are we doing a sign up sheet or is it random or what. i take forever to listen to a full album so having an album on deck would help.

We don't have one yet. Frownland said something about nominating albums and then voting on one or something. Sounded solid. Now explain it to me again, Frownie.

We all submit albums then we all listen to them then we all vote on them then we talk about tube one we voted on.
