    Resolution is sharp, focused, restless, and pitilessly ferocious.

    While the five-piece continue to write virtually the same song over and over again (hell, practically in the same key), there are new proggier and acoustic bits (Ghost Walking) on display.

    Lamb of God's general lack of adventurousness makes them mostly indistinguishable from their heroes and, budget excepted, the bulk of their contemporaries.

  1. Lamb of God are one of the very few metal bands that are unable to disappoint. Each of their albums remains heavy and creative, yet they all simultaneously carry the kind of weight many metal bands only strive to reach. With Resolution, Lamb of God have proven that they don't plan on slowing down any time soon. This is miles ahead of Wrath, and their best album since Ashes of the Wake. All band members continue to show creativity in highlight songs such as album opener Straight For the Sun, Ghost Walking, The Undertow, The Number Six, and their best album closer yet, King Me. To say that these are highlights of the album, however, also would imply that they're "better" songs. That's the beauty of this album as well...there is no filler. Each song serves its purpose and illustrates why Lamb of God are one of the best modern metal bands of the era, and thankfully, they're here to stay. Thank God for Lamb of God. Expand

  2. This album is sickeningly good. I'll put it to you this way, I want the chorus (as simple as it is) to King Me as a tattoo. Simply my favorite song of all time, hands down. Yes, I am that crazy about the song, and the album as a whole. A testament to my insanity, I suppose. Support this band, buy their albums and see them live if you haven't already. Hell, go see them again and again and again. They are one of the few metal bands still going that don't suck. There are many bands out there, but only one Lamb of God. Pure. American. Metal. Expand

  3. Just about as good as their previous release, this album does little to shake up the tried-and tested lamb of God formula (other from the one track where there is almost some singing! All in all it is a very good album, but it has a couple of flaws that keeps it back from achieving the perfection it shoud have, It is not quite as catchy as the older stuff, while this could be seen as a boon to other fans I find it a little disappointing. The vast majority of tracks are brilliant, but there are a few which are relatively stale, which is a shame: which brings me onto the biggest flaw I had with the album; it is too long. It's too long considering the fact that some of the songs are very similar. You should definitely pick it up if you're a fan, but don't expect to be blown away, which is a shame because it could very easily have been their best album yet. Expand
