Strum and twang: The acoustic sessions

Sounds pretty good actually.

better than anything off their past two albums

Pretty solid, sounds like everything else they've ever done though

Pretty damn good song, back to form so far from this.

Fuck those drums are literally gold. He manages to get the best sounds and just rips them to shreds on every album.

His best was on Volition fo real.

Excellent song

These guys are always a fun listen. Some of the best tunes to which you can run.

Better, but still not quite there for me. Just feels like Ruin Part IV to me.

And Windows XP called Randy, they want their ants back.

"His best was on Volition fo real."

He's not wrong.

The song composition is standard Lamb of God, so I'm satisfied.

The lyrics on this album, however, are going to be fucking great.

It's not Strum, it's Sturm.
Sturm und Drang refers to a German movement in literature of the 18th century in which emotions were freely expressed for the first time.

Ashes of the Wake was a real jam back in the day. Song was pretty good, might check this out.

can you tell me what is new about this song? this is just a new result of their standart formula they've had since Wrath. i can't remember where i read but, i remember a review of Resolution saying LoG is becoming "more LoG": songs that sound like kicking ass but there is nothing exciting about that. i hope this is not their best song in the album though. plus, their promos always disappoint me. at least randy improved his song writing skills. i gave it several listens, it's 3/5 at most for me.

This made me itch

Drum production reminds me of 'Wrath' a wee bit.

Sweet song though, always know what you're gonna get with these guys.

Sounds very good.

is pretty good, but it's hard to get excited for the full album for me.

I liked Resolution a lot but this was pretty meh

The ONE band I get to make of him for and I have to wait till after he sees all my posts to make fun of me. Ugh

Solid as usual.

Wrath had awesome production imo. Drums alone were standout. This has that awesome snare sound and the trademark rolling double kick and tom thing he does.

I've listened to this song 6 times today. I could really go for another good Lamb of God record.

we need better metal albums than the ones we've been getting this year

While She Sleeps is ace tho

That was solid, but even so it wasn't much more than a decent metalcore album. There still isn't that real kick in the ass metal release yet. Hopefully August Burns Red or Deftones will deliver that.

I actually liked this a lot.
These guys are hit or miss for me.
This mah-fuckah hits.

sounds good

Calling that While She Sleeps record JUST decent is underselling it. I'd argue that Sylosis has that "kick in the ass" record but I know how people feel about that band on this site.

I hope your assessment of ABR and Deftones is correct though. I haven't heard many good releases this year so far and 2015 is basically half over.

IMO, While She Sleeps was nothing more than decent. I'm not that big on metalcore these days, though.

This makes me so glad Randy Blythe hasn't been imprisoned. Looking forward to the new album.

Sturm and Drang is also a KMFDM song name from like 10 years ago

I'm so confused why this shows up under "my discussions"

good ol' lamb of god

adler with the sweet blasts

Pretty good.

New song "512" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?t=152&v=TLJiyZk8P2s

Sperm und tang

new song is decent but I liked the last one more

Agreed first track is best

512 is pretty good too, this album migth actually be interesting

after resolution this is a good comeback
kinda excited now
