Is there a more perfect album than YOB’s “Clearing The Path to Ascend”?

No. No there is not.

Thank you.

Yeah got into that a bit more on this sitting. Maybe it's the fever but had tears in my eyes through In The Blood, strong opener. Followed up with one of those brutal Yob-as-thrash-band pummelers, fierce stuff.
Think I must have spaced out through much of Unmask the Spectre, didn't leave a coherent impression, there's quite a lot to concentrate on.
Marrow - controversially I thought it was pretty weak the first pass at this album. Appreciated it somewhat more today, but don't get the adulation. Heavy ballad, works in its way, would rather have a ball of lead footdragger like the first track. Also not my favourite of the Yob heavy ballad catalogue.

Solid fucking album.

I had similar feelings when I first listened to it in 2014. I probably wasn’t in the right head space for YOB’s brand at that moment.

But something made me take another listen recently and it just clicked. There is not a single moment on this album I don’t like. And maybe I’ve reached the ballad loving stage of my life, but I could listen to Marrow on repeat all day.

LOVE the album.

But I miss their Metal Blade days.


Seeing them in July....been too long.

New tour announced yesterday (no CA shows unfortunately) and their first music video will be released tomorrow. First new album in four years to follow.

What a monster of a song. Hits on all the right YOBs.

How do you all think the latest compares? I like it better, personally.
