Quote from: Bürggermeister on November 14, 2025, 06:27:13 AMTotal shite, yes, but is it worse than Risk or Supercollider?

The man is at least 33 years away from putting out a consistently good album, it shouldn't be a surprise.
I wouldn't say 33 years, but yea

Made it to the first chorus. Woeful, as expected. Hard to believe this is the same man that gave us My Last Words, Hook In Mouth and Tornado Of Souls.

The lyrics are cringe and I could really do without the "gotta know gotta know gotta know" parts, but I'll be listening again for those guitar solos  :abbath:

I was expecting something really really bad from the comments posted above but I think musically it's not that bad. The solos are good and the production is somewhere between Rust in Peace and Countdown to Extinction. OK, the music isn't as blindingly good as RIP but it's not far off Countdown. His vocals sound tired, no doubt about it, and the lyrics are pretty banal when you compare them to what he is capable of- I actually really like a lot of his early lyrics. If it had his vocal delivery of yore over it it would be pretty damn good. It's more focused and catchier than anything Metallica or Slayer could pull off at this stage. It's hardly going to... wait for it... set the world on fire (OMFGGGGGG!!!) but it's grand.

Yeah I was expecting worse too, but instead it's something that I'd listen to again. Even though the lyrics and vocals are not up to scratch, I still like the overall bitter attitude. It's funny because we all know that he really does care. He cares a lot  :laugh:

Lyrics would be shit for a 13 year old writing their first metal song, but I quite liked the punkier vibe of the music. Not something I'll be rushing out to buy but I reckon it could be a decent live track

So, what, Tipping Point is from the exasperated granddad's point of view and now we have I Don't Care from the perspective of the obnoxious tween? Deeply embarrassing and lazy stuff, and the solos are mere decoration, don't bring the song anywhere, don't serve any purpose other than to provide a shot of sugar to make your ears forget they're chewing shite.


Video putting the lyrics in perspective. I'd say that was a savage day out if you were one of them kids, looks like great craic!

Sounds like it could have been written by AI.

Or Jeff Waters.


Does sound like modern day Annihilator i.e. Shit

The solos are great, the lyrics are cringe.
Sillydeth. Could be worse.

Kind of reminds me of Lux Aeterna by Metallica, which incidentally is their only song this side of the millenium that I  listen to on a regular basis. Teemu in flying form again.


That one could be off The System Has Failed. Those lyrics though  :eyeroll:

Yeah the urge started rumbling....to fold over with the cringe from those lyrics holy moly  :-X

Yeah there's something about the guitar maybe it's the tone that reminds me of the system has failed. The solos are great no doubt about the playing but the lyrics are a hard pass for me.
