There are a few – only a few – minor detractions that can’t really be avoided here, however. While there are no weak moments on Resolution as such, there is something ever so slightly missing – something stopping this being a “lose your shit” record and restricting it to merely “really, really good”. The tracks are all solid, and there are a few real stand-out moments. Opener ‘Desolation‘ is really good, ‘Cheated‘ rages like a bastard and ‘Insurrection‘ has some mighty, epic-sounding riffage. But the quintessential Lamb of God anthem – the ‘Laid To Rest‘, the ‘Redneck‘, the ‘Ruin‘, the ‘Set To Fail‘ for this album – doesn’t arrive. And it’s why Resolution takes bloody ages to really sink its claws into you.

Tom Dare assesses Resolution, the latest album from Lamb of God.
