exactly, nothing new here,which is why im not buying the album.
i just wasted 20 minutes of my life listening to the preview and im not impressed

jesus christ that sucks. Its like mixing pantera with mudvayne or something.

yeah, it's slow and it's got a nasty groove, solo is pretty creative too 'cause of the unexpected note choice

i didn't like the song "Breathing New Life", it doesn't flow, and not really that catchy.

the title track is okay, the main riff sounds similar to a riff by Dream Theater in "In The Name Of God"

i heard Pride, it sounded okay too, didn't listen to it all though

the song with Corey Taylor isn't that bad, it has good energy

i like Pat's voice.

Reborn is another mid tempo song, it was mediocre

i've heard like 6 tracks from that preview deal, and so far, i've yet to find a brutal riff, an amazing solo, or catchy vocals

yeah this isn't that great, the only song that really caught my attention is "Crawl"

when i listen to bands, i try not comparing them to other bands on the first listen.....but this really sucks compared to Pantera. Reinventing the Steel was an album where you could listen to it all the way through without skipping tracks.....this album has a bunch of skippers....there are a few songs that i like on this album, but still.

lyrics aren't that spectacular either, you can tell that this album was a tad targeted towards the mainstream audience. the songs to seemed like they were about identity, believing in yourself, rising up, and crap like that....
to me, putting "Don't Judge me" (i think this was in Explode) in a song, totally means that it was targeted towards a teenager.

also, "if you think you're better than me, than you better wake up, 'cause you know it's a lie"
what? if i know it's a lie, why would i think the opposite? that doesn't make sense.

yeah i listened to most of the album by now, and i can say i'm disappointed.
they said that they were trying to put a modern touch on old school metal, and i think that was the problem, these riffs sound hackneyed. well they're varied in a way, in the sense, that they sound Pantera influenced but they're not riffs Pantera would play. still, the riffs suck, there's no brutal interludes like in "Uplift" and "I'll Cast a Shadow". i expected that much from Dime.
they said Phil was holding them back from branching out, but he was doing the right thing.

but the problem is, this album will be really successful 'cause of how radio friendly it is. i was hoping that this album and SJR's album would both do badly and Phil would realize his mistake and get back together with Dime and Vinnie, but that's not gonna happen.

Dime and Vinnie have disappointed their old Pantera fans, but they won't realize it 'cause their album will sell (to newer fans who probably don't even dig pantera).

i won't say that they sold out, 'cause at least the music has some passion in it instead of St. Wanker.

I don't like Pantera at all but I thought I would give this band a try. It sucked. And I mean really really sucked. It sounded really nu-metal.

The CD cover is way over done too; very corny.

Damage Plan > the other Pantera spin-offs.

Phil Anselmo is a drug-fucked moron.

Case closed.

Nah, you're OK, I think I'll skip it and keep listening to Down.

__________________

Why did Down only have a few good songs on their album? That band was going places, and Anselmo, in his drug-induced stupidity, decided to fuck things up.

all down's stuff's good imo, its the best spinnoff so far

I'll second that.

Down is the only descent spin off, and the only reason its descent is cause of the Crowbar boys.

Yeah, but Jimmy Bower's pretty good too.

What about crowbar? Rex produced the new album and plays bass for them i think
