Rating Your Favorites Segment 2 | Lamb Of God

I haven’t been a fan of Lamb Of God for very long now. It just started last summer. I had heard of L.O.G. a million times and even sampled some of the cd’s briefly at FYE but sometimes you don’t get a good listen on the listening stations. Not only that but Randy Blythe’s vocals can be an acquired taste. I didn’t really get interested until I heard Laid To Rest. What really got me was the guitars and the slightly off beat rhythm of the song. Anyway, here is how I rate my Lamb Of God collection.

1. Ashes Of The Wake - Every song on this album are killer. No two ways around it.
2. As The Palaces Burn - The 11th Hour, Boot Scraper and Blood Junkie, just to name a few. This in my opinion is their second best work.
3. Sacrament - While this album is a bit more catchy, you can hear how Randy’s voice has evolved and is a brilliantly engineered sounding recording.
4. New American Gospel - Lamb Of God’s debut with their “New Name” is one of my least favorite because even the re-mastered version leaves some production value to be desired.
5. Burn The Priest - Lamb Of God’s first record with their original name gives you the band in their most raw form. I included this album because after all…it’s still Lamb Of God.

With every album you can see how the band has improved their form and sound. Call them what you want, Lamb Of God is a hard working American metal band that purely kicks ass. With a new 2 disk DVD coming July first called Walk With Me In Hell through a distribution deal with RoadRunner Records , I’m really anticipating another cool dvd. Killadelphia showed the good, the bad, and the ugly of the band on the road.
