The youtube song was most likely a rip from when the song was played on radio 1 - so the sound quality isn't gonna be up to scratch.
The Earache UK webstore has been weird for me lately - nothing displays properly and no pics comes up when you click on an item for more info.
I know the UK fanpack comes with that fancy box as well though, I sure do love clam boxes.

Is there such a thing?

This. Do not like it at all.

I don't like this new song or artwork very much at all. Boring. Hopefully the rest of the album will be better, but I don't really care about Waste anymore. I'll listen to the album when it comes out though, in case it is good. It'll probably be okay.

The thing i loved was the album cover... meh. Not the music though.

No, that wasn't to imply gama Bomb were gant. I love gaymer bum long time.

I'll rephrase it - 'It sounds like Gama Bomb if they were shit'

I got into Waste late so I'm still quite happy listening to hazardous mutation.

It is their best album.

I like the punky production of it, makes it nice and crusty/raw.

Waste Em All would be my favourite, mainly because Substitute Creature is their best song.

Hazardous is the best indeedddd

Definitely think Hazardous is their best so far. I'm going to leave judgement of this one until I hear the full thing though.

Also, I've been told the "US Webstore Exclusive" fan box is the same as the European one, they just mean that's the only American site or shop that's selling it. They should probably explain it a bit better.

I'm really looking forward to this album, I've been a massive fan of the waste for as long as i've been thrash i think, and i think they are easily as good as a lot of their 80s companions. When i saw the artwork, at first glance i could see what it was (a step back to the more basic style of art from early 7"s etc) but i wasn't that impressed, but actually looking at it again its a really wicked piece of artwork. i think maybe better suited as a t-shirt design than and album cover but yeah its pretty sweet.

Musically, the track is up on the myspace and listening to it there the quality is a lot better, production sounds amazing as usual, and i do actually like this song. its got a feeling of their earlier stuff but with a slower punkier groove, instead of being totally flat out crossover. it does sound more like a mid album track, than a single, but i'm really excited now to hear the album!

I agree with J about the song. I don't think it's a step-down from The Art of Partying (where they went a bit OTT anyway) and it has a bit more of the punkier/hc edge, I think. I also don't think it's a particularly killer track though. If it's meant to be the stand out track (which isn't really an MW trait, is it...) then I think it will be a tad mediocre and will end up a touch worse than its predecessor. The cover art is cool, slightly Accused-y, I think. Not too worried at the moment. I'm sure they'll deliver.

I think everything prior to TAOP was genius, but TAOP was a little TOO silly for my tastes, Lunch Hall Food Brawl etc was just too safe, and not dangerous enough, I think it is good that they are being more aggressive but I hope they don't loose themselves in being serious.
