    Overall, Lamb of God is a solid outing featuring a handful of tracks of potency with some genuine disaffection behind them, which shows the group has plenty left to say ten records in.

    The exploration and craft put into Blythe’s lyrics, along with the stunning musicianship of each member, allows for an exhilarating work of pure heavy metal. This album isn’t just an awesome release from Lamb of God, but a perfect record to unite metalheads as one.

    Lamb Of God are not the band they once were. Those were the sounds of then. This is the now.

    Lamb of God is a tense, yet confident album for taut and uncomfortable times.

    Much of Lamb of God contains the sort of piledriving guitar riffs and Olympic-medal-worthy drumming the band has perfected over the last 20 years, making it easy for their less political fans to get in on the fun. That said, the group sounds best when they take musical risks.

    Delivering the goods with considerably more venom than you might expect at this stage in the game, Lamb of God remain hard to b(l)eat. [Jun 2020, p.89]

    Lamb of God is essentially what fans should expect from the band at this point. Nothing on it feels groundbreaking or cutting-edge like the band's music did in the 2000s, but then again, it's unlikely Lamb of God will ever muster up that same aggression from the comfortable place they sit now.

    It feels like Lamb Of God are putting their papers in order and gearing up for the next charge over the top, not thinking about winding down at all.

New music was appreciated in 2020 because of the pandemic and this did not disappoint. The first song I heard from the album was Resurrection Man. Wow. Best song on the album. Some of these songs play it safe and are the weak links (Gears and Bloodshot Eyes), however, the album is notable for its introduction of their new drummer Art Cruz. His drumming is exceptional, especially on Resurrection Man!!! Notable songs: Memento Mori, Resurrection Man, Poison Dream, and On the Hook.… Full Review »
