Song is solid, Art's drumming is pretty good but yeah it's fairly average by Lamb of God's standards.

Randy's reveals a little bit of his TD "Orange Man Bad" syndrome with the name probably referring to the 4d chess that Trump is supposedly playing to "Make America hate again" lol.

one of those bands where each album becomes a weaker version of the former.

hmm I thought the song sounded fine, but I don't have a lot of interest now that Chris Adler is gone.
loved the band back about 10 years ago but they kinda staled as time went on.

This is extremely generic sounding for them. Damn good out of context, but it easily could have been on either of their last two records. Art does a much better job than I thought he could. Not missing Chris on this track.

Yeah LoG hasn't just decided to go political on this album, Randy's biggest influences are punk bands.

Doesn't really bring anything new to the table, but so far they've never disappointed me, pretty sure the album will be solid as always.

randy has always been anti-war if you listened to ashes of the wake. what's funny is that in the current situation, Trump is a gazillion times more anti-war than Hillary ever was or would have been. WW3? what happened to that?

It sounds like a warm session, i do really believe that they've burned out at this point, last album was pretty stale.

These guys are really missing Chris, sounds like a C-side at best. Still going in hopeful but this better be the weakest track off the new one.

this song's lyrics are fucking incredibly shit. you'd think randy who has written some damn good lyrics before could come up with something better and more original than the whole libtard "make america hate again" trendy ass line used 500 times. also the drumming cannot compare to Adler.

I’d rather listen to something as viscerally atrocious as green days new one than something so innocuous/predictably mediocre

I remember the days (14 years ago now?? Fuck) when 11th hour and laid to rest would make my 10 year old scrawny pale ass go apeshit though

"What happened to Chris anyway?"

got booted, pretty brutally too. kinda sad since he was the dad of group in terms of keeping them all in check since it's well known mark and randy can butt heads.

supposedly he felt they had stagnated and didn't want to keep playing the same old drum parts.

Same as usual, I think it's a bit suboptimal but can't pinpoint why. Maybe the production...
