On their seventh outing, Resolution, Lamb of God prove once again that the right ratio of barnstorming riffs and relentless intensity is all you need to make a solid album. Where Lamb of God -- among the last real practitioners of the dying art of groove metal -- really succeed here is in the simplicity of their approach, shying away from modern studio trickery in favor of a rawer sound that doesn't make any attempts to smooth the edges off of anything. The album serves as a reminder that sometimes simpler is better, and that sometimes all you need to make a good album is some flaming hot guitar work, thundering double bass drumming, and a whole lot of screaming. ~ Gregory Heaney|
Rovi
全米2位を記録した前作から3年ぶりとなるニュー・アルバムは、すべてにおいてレヴェルアップ! 声色を巧みに操作して怒りをブチ撒けるヴォーカル、容赦なく重たいベース、両耳を突き刺す鋭利なギター、そして超高速ドラム!!彼らの兄貴分であり、避けては通れぬ比較対象のパンテラをついに超えるときが来たか!? ヴォルテージは最高潮! 間違えなく過去最高傑作であることを、強調しておきたい!
