So, how do you like the new EXODUS Laurent?

[MightyTior]

I think it´s pretty kick ass!

[Temple of Blood]

I think it's safe to assume he hates it.

[SoBelow]

I think you are on the wrong board if you like that thing that's suppose to be Exodus.

I think it's safe to assume he hates it.

Haha! How could it not be the case?!
Did Holt come up with a barrage of riffing reminiscent of "Parasites", "Fabulous disaster" or "Pleasures..."? No!
Did that new 'singer' come up with a voice of his own instead of using that stupid angry hardcore voice? No!
Here's what one guy wrote elsewhere:

The songs are ultra-repetitive; I just think some riffs are repeated WAY too much within the songs. Every album since Impact... always has those samey pull-off riffs repeated over and over. It sounds exactly like the last album to me. Very formulaic.

That says everything -or almost!

Only some stuff on "Children" is okay..maybe cos Altus was part of it!

[MightyTior]

So do you think it is worse than Shovel Headed Kill Machine, or just the same shit.

Seriously, I think the album kicks ass.

[big mouth]

Just the same shit..... over and over and over and over....

[Temple of Blood]

Yeah, the main riff on "Childrens" reminds me of classic EXODUS. A lot of the rest of the material that I have heard from it wasn't as good, but I didn't bother to check out the whole thing. I just listened to snippets from it on their MySpace page.
