And in the end, these songs just aren't doing it for me.

I would 100% agree with what you're saying if you were talking about the Demonic effort. To my ears, the current lineup has brought back that 80's thrash, groove sound in TFOD that I grew to love so much as a kid. I'm really not trying to read your post as a fanboy, but as a person hearing the band for the first time. I do agree that the production gives the new disc more of a modern sound, but that's about it. Oh well, your still cool Zod!
