Usually ships in 24 hours | | | Actually, I`m undecided. | | I don`t know yet, I listened to A Chosen Few and The Outsider and like it. I guess I judged the album too early. I`ll give a full review when I buy it for myself. Sorry Billy. | | | | Under rated. | | Ignore the reviews bashing this album. Yes, its not typical Electric Wizard, nor is it typical doom. But you have to take into account what Electric Wizard revolves around... marijuana. This album takes a much more psychedelic, groove, stoned out stance towards its production instead of pounding riff after riff. The vocals are muted and distorted, alot like the first track from DopeThrone. Night of the Shape is an excellent track to get blazed to and trance out. The last track, along with Weird Tales, is one of my fave tracks by the band. The first is headbanging material, and We the Undead shows you want Electric Wizard would have been if they had kept on the same route as they were when they first started. My only complaints is that some of the tracks feel a bit like filler, other than that, it is an excellent record that obviously shows it has had alot of work done to it. I cant wait to see what Jus Osbourn has ready for their new release. | | | | Finally, I review it! | | At first, when I heard the songs off the album Let Us Prey, I absolutley hated it. Of course, I only heard the bad songs such as We, The Undead and Night Of The Shape. The other 4 songs outweigh the bad stuff. Electric Wizard has come out with an album that isn`t anything new, and is quite good. Well, there are some things that are new, but when they do the old, it`s quite awesome. A Chosen Few comes to mind. Excellent riffs, great vocal effects, and of course, violent feedback. Master Of Alchemy is perfect with it`s ascending and descending riff. Very hypnotic. The Outsider is the best song on the album. Quite long and very heavy. And Priestess of Mars is somewhat different. It has a weird time signature, but after that, it`s standard Wizard, which is great. However, the `experimental` songs really suck. We, THe Undead is Electric Wizard doing hardcore punk, which turns into a bad Black Flag song. And the other one, Night Of The Shape, sounds too much like Linkin Park. But all flaws aside, this is a solid album. It`s not as heavy as Dopethrone (nothing will be), but it`s still quite good. Sorry about my earlier judgements. | | |
