Review title: An excellent all around album
Product review: I'm not as much into Metalcore and the other styles Lamb of God is built on, but it's still got an American Death Metal edge to it, so I definitely enjoy this album. Also, the lyrics are deceptively well written. From a critical point of view, many of Lamb of God's albums have a hard time of keeping the interest high in the later half of the album and for some reason a way to close out the album just isn't found or reached. Ashes of the Wake actually closes well, but the vibe I feel is that this is a band that from then on, will not find a different way of acheiving this. So this is why I have have a luke warm feeling about Lamb of God in general, but Ashes of the Wake is their high water mark, and if you look at their lyrical ability, abrasive sense of melody, musicianship, the successful communication of bleakness towards the listener, despite some minor short comings, it's no surprise how well liked Lamb of God is.
