Agreed, but I think while the formula they used worked for an EP, it would not be sufficient for a whole album --> a little variety and innovation needed not start sounding repetitive.

Depends on how long the album is, lol. I felt there wasn't enough of what's on the EP (way too short), so maybe if the LP was like in the 30 minute range with that kind of stuff I'd be good...

Well I just bought the album from their label's bandcamp page. It's only about 31 mins and it's pretty BA. Very memorable riffs for such a technical album, it's exactly as I was hoping for; a longer version of the EP but not overly longer.

Coincidentally this album is on the Top 2012 list of 2 guys that live in the same city...and neither of us knows each other...

Same. I actually don't mind a bit of early Death, but later stuff... nah.

I had a feeling you might feel the same

Well, I'm not a TSoP fanboy myself but I didn't think it was a bad album. I love this album however and the TSoP reference is mostly in the vocals to be honest, I'd still say give it a chance just in case.

Edit: I forget that so many people seem to have a such bad opinion of TSoP, so I changed the Staff Pick to just say "Death fanboy" since the comparison is mostly in the voice. Maybe people will be less likely to disregard this impressive album without the "TSoP" comparison...

I'm a huge fan of Leprosy and Scream Bloody Gore, but the rest of Death's discography ranges from decent to shit.

If there's one thing I'll never, ever like about Death it's Chuck's atrocious vocals 8]

Here, I'll even make it easy for you nay sayers...

Understandable. I actually like them but I have always felt they were a love/hate thing about Death (like King Diamond's vocals).

Fuck me sideways it is indeed DOnald Duck on helium here as well just like on TSoP, and the vocals were by far the worst aspect of TSoP

I like TSOP.... I didn't like this though.

Only for later albums not on the early stuff when he still sounded good.

nope, I just can't stand Donald Duck on helium, that's what I hate about Cradle Of Filth as well

I like Dani in the earlier albums but later on he got really bad. Adnan (this vocalist) doesn't sound like Donald Duck on helium, he is way more intellible than donald Duck...

Wow uber Death worship ftw

If only this band had a single shred of originality in them... If I want late Death albums, I'll listen to them, I don't need them redone. And not so expertly to be honest. The drummer wouldn't even be able to pass for Christy's or Hoglan's roadie, for example. Still, there's potential here, but it's overshadowed by utter Death worship. If these guys dare have their own opinions and try to make their own music, they might turn out good eventually.

TSoP and Symbolic are the highlight of Death's opuses imho...the other albums aren't nearly as well thought out melodically or structurally.

Years ago there was a band caled Exence with the same thing for Death, except that they were a bit too thrashy and less inspired. Checking AO right now.

What I feared would happen happened: the full-length sounds very samey. In addition to that the stand-out tracks are the three tracks from the EP...
