 Clearly........ Feb 18, 2008
this is the best effort Lamb of God have ever recorded. Anyone who actually opens their ears will agree. The problem you people are having is you got hooked on their latter efforts first, then popped in New American Gospel and realized the riffs they are playing 8 years later have not changed one bit. So you don't like it because it sounds the same when in fact, New American Gospel came before all their other boring albums. Not to mention the fact that at least back then, they could do those songs with some speed and not just do 500 groove only riffs like they are channeling Funkadelic. The bottom line is this band pretty much sucks the royal backside, but if you are going to even give this band a chance you might as well start and end with this album, because the rest are so worthless it's not even funny.

If you're a diehard Lamb of God fan, then get this album! It's extremely raw and aggressive and will not disappoint!

 Doesn't even compare... Mar 27, 2007
So here it is. The infamous all-American metal album that kicstarted Lamb of God into being one of the most recognized assaults in modern metal. This is a decent album, but a decent album for any other band than Lamb of God.
The crushing techincal brutallity is stripped down completely on 'New American Gospel.' You hear none of the captivating groove, or maddening fretwork that this band has come to be known for. All the riffage is your basic power chord attack, closely relating this album to the term nu-metal in some instances. Every song on this album is easy for a basic guitarist to sit and pick up. Structurally, the songs are simple accompanied by poor production. This is clearly, the mighty Lamb of God before they realized their full potential, and while not holding a mere candle to their later efforts, this album doesn't even stand sturdily on its own merits. There are many albums out there much better than this one. This release is by no means awful, but simply does not prove to be anything other than just another metal album.
A shaky release, I would suggest this album only after you bought Lamb of God's later material.

strictly for huge fans Feb 26, 2007
if your love of lamb of god was created when you bought Ashes Of The Wake, you may find this album somewhat disappointing. the production was not brilliant, Machine hadn't had a say in it, but the quality of the songs is far away their best work.
it'll cut slices off your ears and serve them to you in a light metal sauce, and wash it down with coarse lumps of brilliance. randy is flying at his best here, with writings of his life and the early days of Lamb Of God/Burn The Priest, Black Label telling the tale of sitting around a fume-emitting kerosene heater drinking Black Label and writing metal songs in a freezing sharehouse in Richmond, Virginia.
these guys are hardcore, i love it.

One of the best thrash/metalcore releases of all time. Nov 21, 2006
Lamb of God establishes that they are on top of the American metal scene with this album. They have an amazing thrash technicality with hardcore sound. This is a must-have for any metal collection. I would also strongly recommend LoG's follow up, As The Palces Burn.
I, for one, love Randy Blythe's vocals, and I hope that no true metalhead who reads a review describing them as "Rah, Rah, Rah, Blah, Blah screaming mess" will take it seriously. If you want clean vocals, you can listen to the new Panic! CD. I heard it's peachy.
