I would argue differently. While Pray for Villains does have some filler songs imo, the songs Pray for Villains, Waiting for November, and Resurrection blvd more than make up for them. I would say this is about on par with the Last Kind Words.

*Puts on flamesuit* Although the musicianship improved, I much preferred the Sacrament production to Wraths by a long shot.

On that note, I'm still going to be checking this new DD album out...

Im ready to hear this album, Last Kind words was good but a disappointment to me, it seemed to "run" and rush. the whole album sounded like that.

Fury was the best, in my opinion.

And also.. The new chimera album kicks ass too, in no way was it over hyped.

Amazing.

And why has noone mentioned It's In the Cards? That song is f**king heavy as s***.

I think I've Been Sober is the best song on the album. The guitar work, especially towards the end, is unbelievable. It also has such a sick drum intro. I also like Teach Me To Whisper, where he says it in the chorus and then starts screaming his head off. Awesome album.

+1 For I've Been Sober..kickass song....although the album is just a TEENY TINY bit of a step down from The Last Kind Words....a bit too overproduced....but still a kickass album overall...

I was talking more Wrath. Because this album is Wrath's competition for the year.

I offer up that each album has gotten exponentially better.

but the ****ing groove is there!! and thats what makes these guys so good..

this is definately #2 after last kind words..
i think it was the outro of "the axe shall fall" that did it for me.. gives me goosebumps everytime.. now thats musicianship..

Oh I know. That ending was damn amazing. The same can be said about Fate Stepped In's ending. Although not as good as TASF's, it's still pretty sweet.

Plus the guitar work isn't quite what it used to be for this band (had its moments though). Fully expect them to bounce back after this one though. Love 'I've Been Sober', 'Pray for Villains', the first bits of 'Resurrection Blvd.'
