The band that
never cease to impress is back once again. For almost two decades,
Slough Feg have released album upon album, one more amazing than the
other. Digital Resistance is their 9th one, and just as
always, the characteristic sound is there, but still it differs from
their earlier albums in it's own way. This time the approach is kind
of more laid back than ever before. Some of the metal-puritans might
not be that satisfied with this direction, but personally I still
enjoy it, even though it might not be as groundbreaking as the
metallic chaos of their earlier albums. However, Slough Feg's
brilliance will always be intact, regardless of the music's being
heavy or more laid back. I'd rather have them trying something new
than just rehashing their past half as good (anyone heard the new
Judas Priest-song?).
Basically the only
thing speaking against this band are themselves. This is definitely
one of the best albums released in 2014 so far, but the fact that
they have spoilt us with even better albums for so long, you're still
thirsty for more. Most important though is that they once again have
proved their inability to release an album that's not worth getting.
Let's hope it stays that way in the future as well. 7,5/10 /H
