I actually like this album, and I really don't blame them for making something that a lot of fans and former fans really hate. In fact, it's the FIRST Morbid Angel album I've bought, so it's going to have a particular place in my growing metal collection. I have a taste in many genres of music outside of metal, so that's one reason why. I respect your opinion on it, and kudos for saying that Morbid Angel is still great even with the notoriety of their newest venture. Great going, man.

Infidel if you only got those albums I strongly suggest you check out Covenant by Morbid Angel, in my opinion one of the best metal albums period. Top 5 for me.

Edd, you haven't heard Covenant (1993)? I would definitely recommend that from Morbid Angel. It's one of my favourite DM albums. I agree with your thoughts. They got a pretty good reception at Wacken this year, even with the new songs, it seemed. I was in the pit though, so I guess it would be crazy there either way. I found it hard to get excited for the new stuff, but I still enjoyed that show.

I have just come across this review. It seems that for the first time somebody just articulated everything that was on my mind. Actually, there are several bands that impressed me that much to buy their entire discography. MA is one of them. It is 2022 and Ilud divinum insanus CD just arrived to my hands. I cannot say I like it, but cannot say I hate it neither. I just tolerate it. But wanting to express my appreciation to their earlier albums, I bought this one as well. For me A is monumental, B, C, D are phenomenal, H is very good, G, F fantastic, I and K are just acceptable. But the legend lives on! And sub is going to you for the wise thoughtful review :)

I like when bands are not afraid of experiment new sounds depite the critics of their fans and that they enjoy what they are doing. And as Shagrath also say: you cannot do always the same thing as a musician, you have to evolve every single album. One of my favorites songs is "Too extreme" because it was wanderful for me listen to david sing in spanish at least a little bit. I am a spanish speaker, I am mexican and I know perfectly that david feels special affection for latin american people and it is one of the greatest thing.

Celtic Frost released "Cold Lake" which people find funny for musicians of great calibre but it's a part of their choice career and should be respected.

I really think you are right, in every aspect. I was disappointed too when I heard the most "industrial-oriented" songs (they are not my stuff) and when I head the more DM-oriented ones (IMO me ripped off from Covenant stuff with a bad production and nothing to say) Actually I saw them live last year and they are masters on stage. After the show few fans and me were talking w/ Dave Vincent, he told the new record was a new challenge for him. Maybe he failed, but he is still in the music IMO.
