I think it's a pretty decent album. Can't compare it to any previous efforts since I don't own any, but this was a solid pickup.
So you weren't impressed with Brand New Sin's latest?
Yeah, how is that Avenged Sevenfold? I've heard only one song from it and for the most part I liked it. That's one I may have to hear the entire disc before buying. I wasn't overly impressed with their last one.
I think powerslave might like it. I doubt you will fz. They have gone NWOBHM-style, completely. Old fans are pissed. Long-time metal fans see the "Maidenization" of any good metal band as inevitable. Harmonized guitar leads, clear singing, thirteen minute tunes etc. Only problem is that this guy doesn't actually have halford's or axl's pipes. But he sure goes for it.
