I like the a couple of tracks; very disappointed on the whole album...

Nile has done it again; the've produced a couple of epic songs; yet, their general attitude is negative to non-existente! I wanna share the view that this album has a lot to be desired and really does not live to expectations. In the technical world, Nile had a guitar fart and I understand their shortcomming!

Those Whom The Gods Detest ...

First: I don't care about the Nile-hype, and i'm not one to hold a band's success against them,
but what makes a good death metal album? Heavy guitars + insanely fast drums + sick vocals, imo.
... Ultimately, Nile are death metal at it's most brutal and technical, with quality production that does it justice.
I love "Those Whom the Gods Detest" and i'm blown away by it every time i hear it. There is absolutely no filler, and it never drags or gets boring. The vocals are brutal,
the guitar is almost overwhelming, the drums pounding, the bass crushing and i love the whole atmosphere with the ancient Egypt theme.
I'm absolutely amazed at the sheer quality of Nile's material and i think that this album showcases their talent moreso than previous ones,
in that rely less on the gimmick of exotic instruments, yet they still achieve that feeling that they are summoning some ancient unspeakable evil.
They manage to do this through their superior songwriting ability. Awesome.
In my (humble) opinion Nile definitely deserve to stand head and shoulders above many of the other death metal bands i've heard over the years.
I can't honestly see any reason why any death metal fan would have a complaint against this album, but that's just me --- "CHEERZ \m/
