04. Damned Draft Dodgers
That's probably the worst song title I've ever seen

especially considering they are Canadian....
are they upset that many of the draft dodgers went to Canada?

i think it's a concept album
the concept is that every song title is so absolutely retarded that you'd never discuss these songs in public because you wouldn't want to associate yourself with their stupid fucking names

this
05. Amputated Enigma
makes you go "oh ok, a blasphemy made flesh-type of song title. perhaps they are on to something

"
but then this
01. Two-Pound Torch
02. Shag Harbour's Visitors
03. Red-Skinned Scapegoat
04. Damned Draft Dodgers
06. The Golden Square Mile
07. Ominous
08. Cleansing The Hosts
makes you go "wait is this a barn burners album? what kind of goofy stoner bastards came up with this?" unless maybe the golden square mile is about dumping like a lifetime's worth of pee on someone? and then cleansing the hosts has to do with purifying the catholic sacrament in blood or something? and maybe the blood came from the red-skinned scapegoat! yeah! it's all coming together guys!
in conclusion: meh

Wikipedia says it's a small fishing village that had a UFO sighting or some shit. But there's something much more interesting on there:
"Evelyn Richardson Memorial Elementary School nuzzles the border between Shag Harbour and neighbouring Woods Harbour, Nova Scotia."

The singer/writer of titles/lyrics.

Indeed, it's the riffs and the songs that matter. The meaning of the words are insignificant compared to this, they only need to be sickly grunted.

I once shared this outlook. Then I gave Morbid Angel's latest album a chance.

I'm willing to bet that this will be at least slightly better than IDI.

IDI is basically the worst metal album ever recorded, so that shouldn't be too hard to do.

well that could be in contention for the title as well, but i've never listened to it. naturally, i did not take that into consideration when i wrote that sentence!
however bad it was though, metallica already had a pretty good stable of disappointments built up, so it wasn't exactly out of character or anything.

Hold on now, St Anger may not only be the worst Metal album name ever, but may actually be the worst name of anything ever (including things that are not Metal album names).

I like some of the songs on there. I liked most of them until I heard from heresay that it was bad, actually.

Yes, another failed opportunity to create at the very least a decent album cover.

while i am a fan of clean production, i always loved cryptopsys rough, dirty, production. this doesn't sound too bad but doesn't sound nearly as chaotic as it could.

It sounds as if they turned down the "suck" knob quite a bit. I might have to get this one.

That sounds killer.
The clean production is down to their other guitarist Chris Donaldson, who produced their last couple of albums and is a big fan of new technology. I dont anticipate a rough, dirty sounding album from Cryptopsy any time soon.
Fuck, man flo's drumming is unreal.
