This is their second metal album after Infest the Rat's Nest. What do you think?

The full name is so ridiculous (in a wonderful way). I also enjoy that all their albums since Rat's Nest have pretty much been in some way about Nature's fury or general Climate Change apocalypse

I really enjoyed my first listen. Definitely a different beast than Infest the Rats Nest. This new album almost seems like a mixture of that album and Ice, Death, etc since this is much proggier. These guys don't miss!

Gila! Gila!

I heard Gila Monster and Dragon as singles already, of course. I was impressed with both - maybe Dragon wins by a snout for the more interesting (IMO) guitar riffs, and the syncopation between those and the drums/bass is pretty cool. The overall style being less thrash and more prog sounding than Gila Monster makes me favor it a bit more as well. Gila Monster sounds like it could have been made by Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets era Metallica - if they took themselves a little less seriously - which is very badass too.

I will listen to the album all the way through tonight and report back!

It's so awesome! A friend keeps saying it sounds a bit like Tool (Aenema specifically), but I'm not sure how much I agree

I literally subscribed to this community to talk about the album. I heard both singles and loved them. Dragon is so good. The riffs are interesting, the song is dynamic and the writing is both brutal and night of tongue-in-cheek.

I'm gonna be blasting it today for sure!

I've only listened to it once until now (except for dragon) and I think it's awesome
