Overall
The levels seem weird, like I’m listening to the radio or a cassette tape. I hope it’s just a shitty rip or transcode or something. I like the drum tone on the last two albums better as the snare sounds bizarre at times. It’s Lamb of God and it fucking rocks. I can’t wait to get the special edition and scream along in the car.
Track By Track
- The Passing (1:58)
The acoustic intro sounds more like Down song than Lamb of God
- In Your Words (5:24)
Comes in fierce, sounds like a pre-Ashes Lamb of God song, then the sung vocals remind me of later Type O Negative sung vocals
- Set to Fail (3:46)
Sung pre-chorus voice reminds me of Damageplan, other than that, sounds like it could have been on Sacrament
- Contractor (3:22)
Reminds me of “An Extra Nail For Your Coffin”, the Japanese bonus track on Ashes of the Wake
- Fake Messiah (4:33)
notes
- Grace (3:54)
A finger-picked intro, almost Spanish guitar style,
- Broken Hands (3:53)
notes
- Dead Seeds (3:40)
notes
- Everything to Nothing (3:50)
notes
- Choke Sermon (3:20)
notes
- Reclamation (7:05)
Waves crashing, acoustic (dropped-D?) intro, comes in with a hard groove and a growl, acoustic outro fades to waves crashing.
I haven’t heard any of the bonus tracks yet.

Jason got us row 5 tickets for $60, day of show. It took me over an hour to get there, regardless that I live only 12 miles from the venue We missed The Sword completely, but caught the last half of Lamb of God’s set.
Lamb of God was good. Not as good as when they were headlining the show I saw in Spokane at the Big Easy in 2007 mainly because their sound equipment was nowhere near as extravagant as Metallica’s. Seemed like they had their jam-room equipment onstage, whereas Metallica had every speaker in the building hooked to their shit.
Metallica was so fucking loud and badass, though they sounded sloppy/lazy on most of their older solos and seemed to be off-time when entering older choruses. No songs off Load, Reload, or St. Anger were played. I nearly jizzed across the Arena when they went from “Master of Puppets” right into “Blackened”. I was basically screaming every word to all the older songs (hadn’t listened to the new album enough to know the lyrics yet). And Lars is the biggest Diva in metal.
There was no beer “at request of the tour”.
