Way to miss my point. It doesn’t matter if the shooter was an NRA member. The NRA wants to make it easier for everybody to access guns, they want to do away with waiting periods. They support “gun show” purchasing, they support deregulation for assault rifle ownership. They advocate for putting dangerous weapons in the hands of anybody. Anybody.

As for “criminal with a stolen gun”: Have you ever sped while driving? Littered? Pirated a song or movie? You’re a criminal too. There’s no such thing as a separate class of people known as “criminal”, no genetic trait that makes a person who commits crimes different from you or I. The only difference between a criminal and a so-called “law-abiding citizen” is committing a crime, which anybody has the capacity to do, particularly when you place a loaded weapon in their hands.

And how do you think those guns were stolen in the first place? If it wasn’t such a breeze to get a gun in the first place, if so many Americans didn’t think it was a god-given right to arm themselves with deadly weapons, then there wouldn’t be so many guns to steal in the first place.

I don’t know, but something tells me to doubt that guy was an actual NRA member. More likely another criminal with a stolen gun for you to push your negative beliefs.

all of them are average. more of just adding to older albums rather than making something new

but thats not bad if you like the bands old stuff

Well first of all, you are technically refering to my post, second of all you need to learn how to read. I will quote myself to make things easier on you:

“(No Time To Bleed) will not reinvent the wheel and rewrite the book of metal itself, however it is absolutely a solid effort . . .”

Now there, don’t you feel stupid? I agree.

as a HUGE killswitch fan since the first self-titled album, i went out and nabbed the new album as soon as it hit the shelves, and my reaction after the first listen can be summed up as a resounding “ehhhhh.” so i tried listening again. meh. and once more for good luck. meh. i dont know exactly what it is but this album just doesnt speak to me. its the same KSE (read as: “Adam D”) sound but its just not doing it for me. maybe thats the issue, its time to change it up a bit. over the course of the last 3 albums (new one included) they havent deviated too much from their standard sound. then again, its hit-or-miss when you decide to mix it up, especially in metalcore. sometimes it really works (gonna get speared for these but, bodom, dimmu borgir, and dare i say in flames? sue me but i really really like a sense of purpose), and sometime it sucks hard (ATR, Trivium, and Metallica to name a few). there are a billion examples of it going either way, but those are a few. i think it might be worth it for killswitch to try and deviate a lil bit.
as far as suicide silence, ive only heard a few of the songs but from what i heard it does sound like they stepped it up big time for this one. i will continue to investigate.
ex deo…i havnt even heard of them before now but people are raving. ill check it out.

New suicide silence is fucking hard. They have definitely gotten better…some similarities to “The Cleansing” but alot of differences as well. I think the songs are way more unique on No Time To Bleed when compared to their first effort. In my opinion, heaviest album of the year so far. As for Killswitch Engage, its pretty average. Same shit different album for them…which seems to be pretty dam good for most people. I havent heard the others yet.

Don’t forget about “Souls of Damnation” by Blood Red Throne. I picked it up today and it is AMAZING.

No Time To Bleed- It took me a few times through but this record is awesome. A slightly better album in variety then “The Cleansing.” It is very heavy and the melodic parts have increased and are very good. I dont care for the atmospherics in “Lifted.” I have listened to it 10 times and I am discovering that it is a great modern death metal CD. Sorry boys….

“Your Creations”, “Wasted” and “Disengage” are all amazing!

Killswitch Engage – One time through and I love it. It is very, very good.
I think I still like “ADD” a tad bit better but its only one time through.

I had the same thoughts too when I heard Lifted. After hearing the full album however, I quickly realised it’s the same old 3 fret shit, just gargabe. To the person that said that the album rewrites the book of metal. Just fuck off. Fuck off and die. Also fuck the NRA.

I thought the new KsE was pretty good. It does sound different from their other albums, but nothing I haven’t heard before in the metalcore genre.
3.5 out of 5

Suicide Silence is brilliant, much better than their 1st..
New Killswitch…well…..It’s their worst album IMO.. The gutars are heaps basic, gone is the technical riffs off there past. All the heavy parts sound the same…Very Dissapointing (And i dont think Adam D sings a bar on this cd aswell) The obnus track is the BEST on the album.
Obituary is Same Ol’ Same Ol’
