Lamb Of God, Long Over-Due Part 2
So you know how I commented awhile back on how I wish I had got into This band awhile back? Well after buying Ashes Of The Wake, I wanted more. I ordered Sacrament online and it was taking some time to get here so in the mean time I bought As The Palaces Burn and just today I bought New American Gospel. While I can tell you that I enjoy Palaces, the production value of Gospel is quite disappointing and it’s making it difficult for me to really like it.
On a better note I also received Sacrament today and I’m 7 songs into it and I love every bit of it. Some bands evolve into crap and some evolve in amazing pieces of art…Lamb of God is that amazing piece of art that you stare at with your ears. The guitars and drums are such a great mix, nothing over-powers the other like so many bands these days. Randy, D.Randall or whatever you want to call him has developed his voice to a beautiful sound of bunnies being raked across red hot coals and It’s awesome!
I think I’m going to stop here and be satisfied with my Lamb Of God collection until their next release. It may be better not to try to reach any further back like you can do with some bands. So Ashes Of The Wake And Sacrament are my two favorites from LOG. Thanks Izzy for the advice for Sacrament, I’m really diggin’ it.

American Gospel does have a pretty crummy sound. Ironically, the album they released before that under the name Burn the Priest has a far better sound then Gospel. It’s also got some good tunes on it, and they still play songs off of it live.

Well I took your advice on Sacrament and was far from disappointed, so perhaps I’ll check out that one next. I saw it at FYE awhile back but didn’t bother listening to it. Maybe this weekend.
