Long Live the Code!

Go get this fucker, it's excellent. Fantabulous. In some ways, they're closer to the FETO sound than they've been in donkey's years, but very much influenced by their later, more groovy and "weird" stuff. Really refreshing, punchy, brutal blasts with some nicely off-kilter bits.

Jeff and Jello are ace. Jasta adds nothing.

Top tracks so far are "The Silence is Deafening" and "Striding Purposefully Backwards".

Yeah. Get this.

you need this album!

Barney is fuckin amazing, he's better than ever!
Top tracks: hard to say, though "Loser" stands out (...that riff!!!); and "Morale", I like that tune..
(NB: "Loser" is listed as a bonus track)

only bad point: the cover artwork is horrible! (at least in that digipack version)
That logo really sucks. If they wanted something simple like that, they should have used the classic logo...
the 'real' cover on the booklet is much better

digipack
normal

A belligerent, rampaging masterpiece of anti-canorous cataclysmic virulence.

Yes, the cover sucks (and that the song titels don't have numbers) but the album rulez!

How I love simple riffs like in "All Hail The Grey Dawn", can hear that for hours. The second half of the Biafra track is killer.

Anyone have seen the video, what program do I need to see it?

The video works in Real Player (yes, I still have the piece of shit), probably some other formats too. It's ace, really fucking trippy.

It's on the better of their two DVDs (the Earache one, "Napalm Death - the DVD"), as are the videos for most of their other Earache songs.

The cathedral is Salisbury cathedral, 'cos they played one of the gigs on the DVD in, um, Salisbury.

Ahhh cool! That dvd has been on my 'to buy' list for quite some time. Time to pick that one up.

Anyone notice that Jeff is recorded low in the mix....why? Thought that kind of sucks.

It's a track called "Losers". Don't know if it's a cover or not, but it fits the album perfectly, wonder why it wasn't released for the rest of the world.

I got it when I got the entire album from Soulseek, a couple of months ago.

Probably because there's sooo much distortion on his voice. I didn't like that as well, Jeff's voice is amazing.

It's on the UK digipack version, too. In between Pledge Yourself to You and Striding Purposefully Backwards. It's got a nice Harmony Corruption feel.

I honestly can't find anything I don't like about this album. Maybe it's a bit long, and maybe you can feel Jesse's absence, but it's classy, classy stuff. They really can do no wrong at the moment.
