Continuing on from my last thread on this, the album was released yesterday and I forgot all about it fuck sake, as a reminder the band and earache are giving it away for free download here - http://mail.earache.com/gamabomb/

Anybody listen to this yet or whats your verdict? I have seem some good reports for it so far.

Wow, I forgot it was November already. It seems to have flown by. I'm downloading it right now. I just hope they haven't "Pulled a Municipal Waste" and gotten more serious and flat.

Ive never been a huge fan of the 'wailing' style of vocals, but the energy delivered on this album has totally won me over.

Yes! Gama Bomb may not be very original but they still kick ass! I forgot about this release... thanks for the reminder!

Yeah this is a pretty damn fun thrashin' album. Hadn't really given them a chance before, guess it sometimes takes a link to a free album to do it. I'll have to look into their older stuff I guess, always room for new thrash in my collection.

Love the vocals, even though they're possibly not what I'd usually go for in thrash. Or maybe they are, there's certainly a fair amount of variety.

Get "survival of the fastest" and "citizen brain" after that. Their first is their best.

Basically Citizen Brain part II. I'm not complaining, but the songs aren't nearly as memorable.

Heh the first album is always the best. I'll check them out, thanks.

Citizen Brain and the new one were very okayish , just cant get into them compared to their debut for some reason . I downloaded the new one anyways , hopefully its not a ploy by Earache to spam us for eternity . Free album though , so i guess they can afford to spam .

This is almost the same as Citizen Brain. It's too generic and clean; but I guess if you're into that then you will love this album.

Will this album be physically released? I know it is free and all, but something in me would like a physical copy.

I'm liking this at the moment but I haven't heard Citizen Brain or the first album so I can't compare it to any of their older stuff

Last time I heard Gama Bomb I wasn't impressed, but if they're giving an album out for free then the least i can do is give them another chance.

I am really enjoying this album. It is the first time I heard them and I think they are ok. At least it is a fun album to listen. repetitive at times though, but fun.

On recommendation I listened to the first album, and yeah it quite clearly is far superior. Just the more energetic and rawish feeling is far more my cup of tea. Certainly fun, too.

I am two tracks in and it's fun as hell. I think that's all that they were aiming at, personally.
