Pallbearer: “Pretty much anybody who likes rock and roll that can find something they like about the new album.”

Aside from that, I think it’s a much more dynamic record. The musical aspect of it is something that a lot of people can enjoy. It’s not as sluggish as Sorrow & Extinction. More people can find an element of it that they can enjoy, even if they just like classic rock. Listening to Sorrow & Extinctionand Foundations Of Burden side by side, Sorrow & Extinction sounds like slow motion. While there are parts of the new album that are slower than anything on Sorrow & Extinction, there’s something that almost feels like Sorrow & Extinction was a record that was meant to be a 45, being played on 33. It’s slower than real life. The new album doesn’t have that feeling to me; it has more energy to it, but there are still parts that are really fucking slow. Sorrow & Extinction might be a little more niche than the new one. Pretty much anybody who likes rock and roll that can find something they like about the new album.
