Get Damned

Everyone seems to be disappointed in this album. While not as great as their debut, in my opinion it far surpasses "The Darkest Red".

There's no singing in any songs but the last one, and for me this is a plus, seeing as Michael's singing voice came out whiney at times. And I really like the singing in "Old Scratch" to be honest. I guess I can see why others find this CD repetitive, but for me it's not so much that I still can't enjoy the songs.

His screaming is as shredding as ever, and there's just something so brutally catchy about this album that hasn't been on any of their others. "Barnburner" and "Rattle Me Bones" are the only songs that I really can't seem to get into.

But as a whole, this is a great release.

I can't say much for the entire CD, seeing as how I'm currently listening to it, but Predation is the same chords, over and over again. I don't play any instruments or understand tablature at all and I do believe i could play the entire second song by ear. Dances with the Devils doesn't get much better. Oh wait...whats this? A breakdown....unfortunately it's as disappointing as the rest of the CD. Adversary is the same exact thing, sounds the same as the first 3 songs. Deliverance is alright, but it is dwarfed by the other crappy songs. The Darkest Red was amazing...I can't understand what happened. They left Roadrunner and signed with Century Media. Yes, it seems that the Ags have indeed been Damned...their musical skills have been damned down the toilet. If this had been their first album, i might not have even bothered researching this band any further. It's really quite sad.
