REVIEW: LAMB OF GOD - RESOLUTION

On today's Rock it Out! Blog episode I review the new album from Lamb Of God, Resolution. While there's a lot about this album that I like from the singing and the instrumentation, I can't help but shake the feeling that the album is a bit one-dimensional. What are your thoughts on the album?

I loved the album from start to finish and have always istend to them on the treadmill at the gym too. They play what is expected of them, but did experiment on the album somewhat with the singing from Randy, the opera, the strings, and the use of acoustic guitar. However, I understand your point that they should have experimented more, but the bands you listed were experimental bands from day 1. I feel they will experiment more and that this was a stepping stones forward. Great review btw!!!

wrong, u cant hear every word on this album! thats one of my biggest problems with it. randy's vocals arent mixed nicely. with past albums it was amazing the clarity he had and u hear everything coming out his mouth. resolution lacks originality yes. i also think the lyrics suffered in this album, they lack the strong feeling of past songs. however the gtr solo's are really good. log finally hit the note when it comes to solo's. i also think vocals were somewhat boring

@sam72619 If you still enjoy Lamb of God then good for you. Sami gave the band's album a very positive review but when a band doesn't change their sound at all then it reflects their lack of originality. Now more thna ever Lamb of God needs to change their sound, there's a hundred other bands out there trying to sound just like them

[themetalman3]

what about "King Me?"

[sam72619]

@st00pidp0ckets other bands can experiment with there stuff,.. but there is a reason Lamb of God is called "the pure American heavy metal" not mixture of R&B, hiphop and what korn did with there new album all that dubstep ?? i mean what the hell ? are they a metal band or what ?

[st00pidp0ckets]

@sam72619 Music is an art. There's no room for opinionated people in art, you need to be open and willing to experiment with your sound, (not just to accomodate to others, but to prevent yourself from getting bored as well,) therefore it is important to not to make every single one of your songs sound just like "Redneck" or "Laid to Rest" or any of their other big hits.

@FootofaFerret i second that, do the new album please

[sam72619]

@st00pidp0ckets.ever wonder why Lamb of God is called Pure American Heavy Metal?duh ! if they put too much of this new stuff like As i lay dying and Korn did in their new album all this dubstep and bullshit, its not heavy metal anymore ! its like somthing no one wants to listen cuz they r tryin to make music for others to like it, who dont give a fuk abt their own band, while lamb of god on the other hand try to make stuff 4 them self first,and there is where all the hardcore fans are based on

[st00pidp0ckets]

@sam72619 He's a fan of music. You clearly aren't a true fan of music. A true fan of any band would be able to admit their flaws

[sam72619]

if you are a die hard fan ! u wouldnt say shit about Lamb of god !!! they are legendary and i can certainly say that u wud'nt like it !! fuck you ~
