Read the review, checked out the samples on Amazon and personally I don't understand what everyones so worried about. Morbid Angel were always a death metal band based around thick bassy grooves (minus the first two albums) which is basically what this new album is delivering. As much as I think it won't top the first four albums, I don't want this new one to sound exactly like them either. Yes, a few of the tracks sound like duds, but to own an album where every track is a classic is rare, Altars of Madness being one of them. And come on, the album is sounding better then Heretic already, so that's always a plus. I don't think we should judge until we have heard the whole thing.
I don't think they are pulling a Cryptopsy on us.
