Of all the bands that were formed in the '80s and are still around today, Napalm Death have nearly always been - and still remain - the most relevant. And they have managed this while acting in the confines of a niche genre, such as grindcore. And with the same lineup for decades now.

Oh damn, forgot this was even coming out this Friday. New Napalm Death is always welcome.

Also how the hell am I the first person to comment on this thread?

Great album with a slight industrial added to the mix? Napalm Death is still relevant.

Never a fan of ND. This album seems to have more of Industrial metal and less of core.

Someone called this "Dadgrind" the other day. LOL

Still love Napalm Death, but they have put out too many albums and have watered down their own discography.

I had this feeling too,I really liked their late 2000s stuff,was kind of a comeback for them but this album just sounds so uninspired and takes some weird choices that don´t work out for me.

I slept on getting to this for a while for whatever reason, but jamming it now it’s still as tight as the material from say 2012 on has ever been. True seniority status with these boys, it’s crazy that they are like 40 years into their run and still find a way to be relevant and smoke out 90% of the competition

2012? Man, they been putting out good shit since 2004. Don't think they've had a bad album since.

If you dig this, don't forget about the related EP that came after this. Fun little romp that one.
