Love Below The Salt

Can’t tell you how No Control wasn’t their biggest hit by a wide margin.

Starts super good, middle is okay, and the final two songs are killer.

It’s really just three really heavy, really good songs and three okay interludes.

Pretty good first half, like the initial album. All of the bonus songs (that aren't featured in this tracklist) aside from No The Moon are nothing burger songs that sound both shitty and good. Initial album would get like 83ish, but I’m counting all of the songs that are officially attached to this project.

This album fucking rules.

This is definitely a second listen bodes a higher review type of album. Quite simply a man and his guitar.

I’m conflicted. This is a talented band who really really jumped the shark on the theatricality. I like the really heavy bits and it’s a good way to progress the song. The chorus is very octanecore, for better or for worse. The bridge/breakdown is really catchy. The “omg we’re so zany” sounds are, at best, on brand, especially for Terrifier. At worst, they’re a distracting thing to get through on every listen, if that comes for me. And then that theatre kid ... read more

I thought A Little Piece of Heaven was amazing in 2007. I think it’s one of the worst aging songs with some of the coolest little things going for it. Love any Rev inclusion on the album.

This is just such a strong consistently excellent album. Savior Complex is definitely the highlight.

Good voice, great voice. Just a little boring at times.

Hurt Less rules.

This is a banger album.

It’s heavy and unhinged and all, but there’s a lot of misses to justify 13 songs.

Definitely went into this thinking, “yeah I’ll probably kindaaa like it.” My god, is it explosive and energetic and catchy and magical. Monitor to Night Shift to Sin In My Heart is such a blissful run, it’s a clear induction that “yeah this album fucks.”

Excellent debut album. Visage is such an unbelievable highlight.

This is definitely a better version of Ashamed, but it’s like… Japan changing their flag color, like yes, the newer version is more saturated, but it’s not some crazy update.

Fantastic production, love the pacing, but you can tell what songs are the highlights.

Best Metallica album and it’s not even close.

Aside from the singles, there’s not a whole lot in memorable tracks. Adam sounds really good on a lot of the songs which gives bonus points, but it’s a very stereotypical “post-grunge but we’re a bit more hot topic” vibe.
