Flotsam is awesome for getting better as time goes on and being bad ass enough to change with the times. They're way heavier than when they started back in the day. We jam 2 doors down from Eric AK , he does a side project here in AZ called "The Human Condition" with the dudes from Sacred Reich.
I love Jason Newstead but the truth is they don't need him Jason Ward is the only Jason they need! He's the one writing most of this bad ass material ! !! Fuck the limelight !!!
This is a pleasant surprise, as I didn't even realize F&J released an album last year! Like some other folks here, I assumed the band was dead and gone when Eric A.K. left to attend flight school.
This is pretty decent stuff. It's mostly what I would expect of them at this point in their careers. The solos absolutely soar; very exotic and unique. I could REALLY do without the keyboards, however.
Oh shit! Is this a new album? I thought the band broke up a long ass time ago. I used to listen to them back in the days. I somehow saw this in a video suggestion and I am seeing the comments that this is new. Is Newsted on this band? If he is, maaaan he plays great bass...... he should have left Shitallica after And Justice for all they were done! They lost thousands of fans world wide. I'm glad these guys keep Thrash alive!
@DeathMetalforever : awesome, thank you! Glad to have you "Back on board" :) No, Newsted isn't in the band, it's Jason Ward on bass, he's in the band since 20 years now. Flotsam hasn't broke up and hopefully never will! FLOTS TILL DEATH!
Fuck yeah man I agree, although Cuatro is debatable haha. It was the first album I heard by them and what drew me in, but at the same time... that whole middle part of the album kind of blows chunks, imo.
Agreed AK sounds great and i am a huge fan being from AZ but listen to Ward. The best bass player they ever had. No offense to Troy or Newstead but Ward is the f#@#ing bomb.
This album is fucking great! I never was a *big* fan of F&J, but The Cold really kicked by ass. It reminds me a lot of Queensryche, in a good sense - Eric's vocals are amazingly strong and alive, and the music is surreal :) Really great CD, hands down :)
yes 8quart,here also one from the first flotsam and yetsam fans,and i have to say this album is great!!let's hope this one breaks through !!what also separates "them" from the other "oldschool metal bands":they are more than good, on their instruments,but the best thing "especially on this album " is eric's voice,that's what separates them from the rest !!!!(is he still smoking??)one of the best albums this year !!!!
@metalboto ....you nailed it..AK`s voice really shows up in "TRASH"...no denying he`s got an incredilbe voice,but they are also full circle,the songwriting is also very unique,they are definately not stupid,you can choose what you want to focus on each time you jam to these guys,whatever mood you`re in that day..be it the great guitar play,the pounding drums,of course the vocals,or listen to what they are singing about,what I like about good bands is that their music doesn`t wear out,always good
I am a F&J fan from the start,I`ve got all of their cds and I am sooo glad this one rocks...there is always a chance that a band gets away from who they are...thank you for not pulling a"metallica"...and keeping the baddass hard sound I need..even at 44 I still grit my teeth to this music,it`s nice to know that there are still bands out there that know where they came from...thank you Flotsam and Jetsam!!!
I just got Dreams of Death and The Cold today, and holy hell guys... when did Flotsam and Jetsam surpass their kingly metal status to become modern day thrash metal gods!?! I'm recommending this stuff to everyone that I know and don't know!!!
@AlucardsQuest Well I can't say that I'm not mildly disappointed since I love the old logo, but at least it's consistent with the previous album. It makes it feel more like the band has been continuously evolving through out the years. BTW I have all F&J albums on order from Amazon!
Good tune! I love the direction that the band is taking, closer to their earlier material! In fact the first 4 F&Js are among my favorite thrash & metal albums!
I F&J till i die!!!

I'm more of a Thrash fan, so I was familiar with Flotsam and Jetsam's first two albums, which I love.
Everybody told me that Flotsam and Jetsam were crap nowadays.
Then I listened to this album.
ARE THEY FUCKING DEAF!!!???
This album is a masterpiece!
It's dark, it has great guitars, outstanding vocals, great bass, pounding drums and A VERY DARK atmosphere!
I don't care if it's not "true" to like this album.
This is my new favorite album!
