The band's fourth full length album, if you include burn the priest, is the very one that fired them into the mainstream of metal. And if you take your evidence from these eleven slices of supreme goodness, Rightly so.

Obviously the first three tracks here are classics, each embeded in lamb of god's setlist.

But it's on tracks like Omerta and Remorse is for the dead that the feel of this album comes across, although palaces may have been full of confidence, this displays the kind of attitude Lamb of god have been wanting to show.

Evidently Randy Blythe in ways, paeks on this record and the instrumental track Ashes of the wake, boasts the musicianship of Mark Morton, Willie Addler and friends...

Overall, if you claim to call yourself a fan of metal, and have not heard this album BUY BEG OR STEAL A COPY RIGHT NOW.

And, enjoy.

Its censored. This isnt much of a problem seeing as there isnt that much swearing, and swearing doenst make the album but play didnt specify this before i downloaded it which i think is kind of bad form. Also the censoring does ruin laid to rest a bit, breaks it up a bit and stops it having the same energy.

Wouldve given it 6 stars but for this small gripe. Its not that bad on the face of it but it does wear after a while, if you think you can put up with it then go for it because this really is an amazing album. At least theres no swearing in hourglass.

Lamb of God's first breakthrough album.Mainly recognised as a band after Guitar Hero 2's feature track "Laid To Rest"
