Thrash-N-Roll!!!.......2006-03-15

This band keeps putting out these great thrash-n-roll albums with swell song-writing and bumping riffs. Price of album is well worth hearing "That's when I became..." Probably the catchiest song they've ever written.

3 1/2.......2006-02-16

Calling this Entombed album, a Death Metal album is really reaching, yet it doesnt mean that it isnt enjoyable. Entombed has been taking different approaches on every album that they have been doing since "Wolverine Blues" but thats not a bad thing. Even though they have left their roots of death metal long ago, doesnt mean that the newer material should be missed, or criticized for trying to sell out. Trust me when I tell you that Entombed, no matter how water downed, is ever going to get a spot in MTV's regular rotation, or wind up on Pop Hard Rock stations. "Inferno" is probely the strangest album that they have done, and there is actual singing in this record, yet the guitar and drum parts are still very heavy. Its actually reminds me of old-school Venom but with more "Groove" and more singing. It seems like they wanted to make a metal album that had almost a late 70's and early 80's crunch to it, and combined it with some classic entombed melody. Its different, Its strange, yet give it a chance cause it is still some pretty good Metal.

Good release marred by crap production.......2005-07-06

This isn't death metal by any stretch of the imagination, rather it's ballsy, and grooving stoner metal. The lyrics are in general ironic or humorous, the songs ain't bad either being mostly slowly grooving slabs of distortion, not that there aren't some fast songs. But I couldn't give this any more than three stars because the production is muddy, bass heavy, unclear and ruins what could have otherwise been a very strong release. It sounds like demos rather than a finished product and the band sounds sloppy for it. As other reviewers have stated you'll be messing with your EQ in order to get a good sound, but dammit you shouldn't have to.

In the vein of the new Entombed.......2005-04-04

This record captures best what I think Entombed has been shooting for since Uprising. Fast, brutal metal while holding on to their sometimes tongue-in-cheek lyrics. I have to admit that I got into Entombed with Uprising and have enjoyed every release since tht record, I can say that I only kind of like their older releases (Wolverine Blues etc.) If you are a fan of Uprising and Morning Star, this record is a little more structured than both, and a little harder than both, but that's totally a good thing.

There is hope for the weary. . ........2004-09-21

What I want to do here is address old-school Entombed fans, who are waiting for another record like the ones they love - To Ride. . . and Wolverine Blues. Trust me, I know what you're dealing with, because I love those records unreservedly, and spent a lot of time looking for To Ride. . . part 2. Of course, the reality is that it's nowhere to be found. It's just not going to happen. I know that's sad, but there is hope if you know what to do. What you have to do is take Entombed for what they are now, rather than what they were, and then their new records suddenly become good in their own right, rather than bad by comparison. They're never again going to have those crazy, swaggering guitar parts, or the clever funny lyrics (is it just me, or was the grammar better back in the day, too?), but they've written some truly brutal songs since the days of yore, and they're worth your money as long as you aren't expecting To Ride. . . .

If you're like I was, and looking for something to get you back into Entombed, personally I would recommend Morning Star, but this record has its perks as well. Nobodaddy is catchy and rough and vicious all at the same time, and Public Burning will make you take notice if your attention wanders. That's When I Became A Satanist isn't as great as its title, but it's still a good, angry, saw-toothed song that'll make you glad you bought the record. Flexing Muscles has a groove in it reminiscent of Slayer (though you shouldn't take that comparison too far), and the lyrics are pretty funny, too.

Now, as for those of you who like bands who grow and change, don't expect much. Same Difference made me hopeful because I thought maybe they'd take a prog. rock route, something like Amorphis did, but that turned out to be a one record deal. The unfortunate fact is that this is the same record as Uprising, and Morning Star. Same production, same types of songs, same disjointed lyrics. But, like I said above, great if you like neanderthal rock as much as I do. I mean, I like prog. rock, too, but there's nothing wrong with bands that do one thing and do it well, which is what the fellas have done for the last however many records.
