I feel like it is stuck and I'd rather spin their older stuff.

I don't think folks might care about moving away from typical-branded Overkill sound. I don't think anyone will be looking forward in the future for originality here when it comes to classic acts such as Overkill, Municipal Waste where folks enjoy records to "shred, headbang to riffs and have fun".

Overkill has influenced barrages of modern thrash bands yet none have ever come close to overcoming Overkill music.

So, have fun.

You say that like I shat on the influence they had on the overall thrash scene. Which I didn't. Or like I don't know who they are lol. It's just that I don't need anymore "Overkill by the number" I've got more than enough of that already with their previous material and it is far superior.

As for having fun, I'm having tons of that. As far as I'm concerned there's many more entertaining or experimenting bands out there. I couldn't care less what folks want from Overkill, I'm just saying that this release is ok, not bad, not memorable. I just know that I'm not gonna listen to this in a year from now and I'd much rather spin the latest Exmortus, Pest Control, Chronicle or Remission when it comes to thrash in 2023.

Again this is all subjective. Even though I respect the band greatly, that won't influence my enjoyment of their music.

This band can not disappoint
