Larry: PUNY HUMAN WRONG ABOUT FORMATION!!! SMASH!!!!

New platters by Overkill, Testament, Kreator, Exumer, Municipal Waste and Tankard. All in all, a pretty good year for thrash.

My bad – they obviously use them a lot.

It starts the album off on a really sour note. And, “Native Blood” doesn’t turn things around very much. That spoken word segment is cringe-inducing. The album doesn’t get good until the middle, but then it’s quickly halted by “Cold Embrace.” The only decent stretch of tracks is the last three. Overall, I found the album to be a disappointment.

Dave Lombardo whips one out on DNR on The Gathering!

The only quibble is that I actually really like “Rise Up.” I get what you’re saying, but man that ought to be awesome live. Completely agree about “Cold Embrace.” I usually like their ballads. “The Legacy” is one of my all-time favorite ballads, but this one stinks. Got to find those bonus tracks now.

Otherwise this rocks.
