-
Kerrang!Feb 6, 2012They may not have subtlety in their arsenal but then again, with riffs this menacing, who needs it? [21 Jan 2012, p.52]
-
Jan 26, 2012Resolution deserves plenty of attention, and will earn Lamb of God even more much-deserved praise for their consistency and unfettered excellence.
-
Jan 23, 2012Frontman Randy Blythe still growls his guts out while his bandmates hammer away at economy-sized grooves that suggest an extreme-sports version of Southern rock.

-
Mar 21, 2012It may be just another platter of product from this Richmond, Virginia, crew, fit for mosh pit incitements, but it's also a harrowing and hypnotic package of wound-up, meticulously arranged aggro-bombs by a veteran team of low-end hatemongers.
-
Jan 30, 2012It's not exploring new musical frontiers, but Resolution is an eminently listenable heavy metal album.

Aug 9, 2012The Richmond quintet's usual uniformity of sound, production, and performance strikes many like a concrete dam, and Resolution takes 10-15 minutes too long to resolve, but there's no arguing with a rabid dog called "Cheated."
-
Jan 26, 2012While 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.
-
Jan 20, 2012While there's plenty here to keep heads banging, there's not much to challenge the grey matter inside them.
-
Feb 27, 2012Mostly, Lamb of God stick to conservative values that metalheads can respect and everyone else can continue to ignore.
-
Jan 24, 2012Lamb of God's general lack of adventurousness makes them mostly indistinguishable from their heroes and, budget excepted, the bulk of their contemporaries.
