    So I saw Bloodmeat on a music channel, and downloaded Fortress straight away, and then bought the physical thing.
    I think its IMMENSE tbh.
    What do other people think?

    I haven't heard it yet. I have Kezia, though.

    It sounds like they're trying to find out who's more awesome by fighting with their instruments in some epic battle...but everyone is winning.

    So far, one of my favourite albums of this year.

    They're amazing musicians, and deserve all the credit they're getting right now.

    I love how they personally decided instead of going more mainstream they'd make the most weird album ever. Fair play to them

    Although, that's one of the best way ever to describe an album ever, I don't like it that much from what I've heard.

    Yeah, so far its number 1 in my top albums so far this year.
    Kezia is awesome too, but Fortress is just more epic :D

    It's a decent album. It blew me away the first time I heard it but now I can't get through it without feeling like they're trying too hard. They're great musicians and all, but the chaos in their songs is sort of annoying, to be honest.

    I like bloodmeat, going to have to check this cd out. Only other song I've really listened to of theirs is Heretics and Killers, which I thought was pretty awesome. I don't know if I can quite buy into the chaotic....ness though.

    That's one of the best album descriptions I've ever heard :lol:

    I absolutely love the CD, it's my album of the year, so far. Well apart from the DragonForce keyboard solo. Ugh.

    Though I suppose you can tell that by my sig, lol.

    Actually, I got the album and Bloodmeat is one of the only songs I like. I also agree with Will that the chaos gets annoying.
