Well, to judge by the 4 songs on this sampler, it will be a very interesting album from this legendary band.
The first track
What Doesn't Die is simply one of their best songs ever. The amount of power and intensity the song gives, is astonishing. Some great raw singing from John Bush. The drums are very fast and lay a solid fundament. The strange guitar lead seems to fit into the song in an odd way, but it works.
Safe Home is a slower and more melodic song. It has a cool relaxed style, and the chorus seems very balanced. The acoustic mid-section and the harmonious singing is another plus. All in all a very good song. Lyrical it is passionate and personal.
The last songs couple of songs are not as interesting.
Taking The Music Back has a standard chorus and a not all that great melody.
Thinking About An End is a bit odd in composition, but features a good tight riff section and some melodic leads.
The sound is clear and of overall good quality, it could have been more powerful though.
The band sounds tight and offers some good musical performances. Hard riffing, powerful drums, melodic leads, solid bass and a balanced vocal.
Well it is hard to conclude much with only 4 songs, but they have made, at least 2 very good songs.
