Theocracy - As the World Bleeds

So I'm listening to the new album right now, and I'm absolutely loving what I'm hearing! In the end, this will definitely be in my top 3 for the year!

Mine should be here in a week or so. Really keen to hear it from the start to the finish. Matt can do no wrong in my eyes!

Boy are you in for a treat, Fundy! The song writing is top notch, as are
the vocals and the lyrics. The songs are easily identifiable as songs
about God and faith, yet they're written in a way that it isn't
monotonous or unoriginal. The added element of guitar solos is a
definite leap forward and they do a good job of mixing it up by throwing
in some acoustic guitar parts from time to time like they did on Mirror
of Souls. This is seriously one of the best all-around albums I have
heard in a LONG time!

Got this one yesterday - DIGGING it today!

I plan on picking it up early next month. Matt does not disappoint, I have gotten hours of listening pleasure from both previous albums.

Hours of listening pleasure? That could be just the title track's length!



The one song I heard sounded awesome, but I am reluctant to order this now that I have seen the track length for some of the songs. I just don't like long songs.

I know enough now.

My copy arrived yesterday (on the release date) and it's incredible. Definitely my album of the year, which is unfair on Sarepta for I wanted them to get more recognition. But As The World Bleeds is brilliant!

And your review is spot on, Andy. Thanks for that informative read.

I've been cranking this again the last couple of weeks and it is just amazing. The extended guitar solos in "The Gift of Music" and "Nailed" are really a leap forward from their first two records. I wish they'd leave the first record alone and focus on making a new record. I can't wait to hear what Matt and Co. come up with next.

They really are very talented. I'm not that interested in hearing them rereocord their first album, but if they add two or three new songs on to it, then I'll be getting it! I don't buy many rerecords, but I may make an exception with Theocracy!

I don't even think they're re-recording it, but rather remixing and adding real drums. A full re-record with the band would sound amazing, but I'm just as glad they're not doing that. I'd rather they just get this done, and move on to the next new record.
