Album Rating: 3.5

New album is better than this imo

It's not. It's a good album but this is them at their peak.

Album Rating: 3.5

Heafy's harsh vocals on here have always sounded forced to me. Almost as if his technique is off.

He was using a bad technique for years and almost totally ruined his voice because of it.
The vocals on the new album are a lot better but the lyrics here are great.

Insurrection slaps

It's kinda Metallica worship-ish but in a good way

Faster and more furious than anything Metallica did after AJFA nigga

Album Rating: 4.0

Really a tasty album, and the best they've done imo

Album Rating: 4.0

Ascendancy is still better than this, but between the two and the new album there's not a great deal in it. Kirisute Gomen is amazing though, it's their best opener they've done.

KG rules agreed. Riffs are creative as fuck

I remember reading about why they have Greek and Japanese themes on this album. I remember thinking the reasoning makes no sense at all.

Gotta include both, otherwise you just look like a racist

Album Rating: 5.0

I mean the Japanese themes make sense given Heafy and the title, but the Greek themes are definitely reaching further.

Album Rating: 3.0

Yes doing one or the other seems like a doable theme but how does one associate with the other? Very little other than each civilization having classic literature much referenced in modern times

Album Rating: 5.0

Well I mean their timelines did overlap so maybe they were trying to juxtapose Western and Eastern mythology/history. Not saying it's the most sensible approach, just trying to figure out what they could have been thinking.

Album Rating: 4.0

Easily their best album

No doubt. Album has aged suspiciously well.
