Volkswagen is the first thing that I had to think of when I
finished listening to this album. Like the car, this album by German death metal
combo Lay Down Rotten is reliable and decent. Nothing spectacular, nothing that
sticks out, nothing new, nothing out of the box, just safe and as expected.
A
well produced heavy sound and skillfull musicianship all excecuted in average
death metal songs. Take some Illdisposed, old Benediction, a sniff of Gorefest
and some old school Swedish death metal sounds and you get a perfect blend of
music. So this seventh album is just a good album, but that is about it. I like
listening to it, but I miss the excitement, its like a very defensive played
soccer game won by the score of 1-0. You are glad with the outcome, but not
pleased about how
they played.
For
me the band may take some more risks next time and try to add something new or
different.
