 One of My Favorite Metal Albums

"O God the Aftermath" is a very unique sounding album. I haven't found many other artists that come close to the concept of this album. You'll listen to it the first time, and be put off by the clashing disorganized structure. But after a while it really grows on you, and you begin to savor each pounding blow coming out of Norma.
The whole album has a very specific tone, and Norma Jean displays an incredible variety of riffs and breakdowns within that specific tone. The good news is, if you like one song, you will probably love the whole album. The bad news is, if you dislike their singles, then you shouldn't buy the album. I happened to like Absentimental, so then I bought the cd and was happy to find that all the similar songs are just as good if not better. If you like the particular sound then you should love it all.
If you bought the first cds or bought the most recent cds, know that this album is completely separate from all their other pieces. "O God the Aftermath" does not show through their other albums, and that's why people love Bless the Matyr and hate this album. It's a complete step in a different direction. However, it is not to everyone a failure. I, for example, label this album Norma Jean's masterpiece. All their other albums don't really measure up to the quality of this one, in my opinion. I agree that Bless the Matyr was an incredible album, but I treat the two separately. Once again I advise you to preview before you buy. And I also encourage you to buy the limited edition. The extra track "Shanluu is one of the best Norma songs out there. |

 Good Album Marred By Bad Production

| I know this album was made to parallel the sound of We Are Romans by Botch, and the parallels are obvious, but there is no reason the production should suffer. OGTA could have easily been a 5-star album if it wasn't so overly saturated and crushed in the mix. The music is solid, albeit a bit repetitive, but that's really their shtick after all. More importantly, it's as aggressive as rabid dog leaping for your throat. Unfortunately, said dog is chained by the aforementioned problems. Shorten it up by a song or two, touch up the sound quality, and you have yourself a near perfect album. |

BRILLIANT Chaotic Hardcore

What a great album! Every song is dripping with chainsaw guitars, furious vocals, pounding drums and deep hidden meaning. If you thing "Norma Jean" ended after Josh left... I feel sorry for you. Not only does Cory rip, but his voice does a lot of different things. For instance, he can sing, growl, yell, scream (in several octaves) and seems to have every bit the range and talent of Josh. (In fact, this album shows a LOT more maturity than Josh Scogin's new "Chariot" release, although that is quite tasty as well.)
If you like extreme music with a good message, buy this, listen, and be blown away by some seriously heavy mathcore. |

Metalcore

| sucks. If you like this album you are a poser. That means you think cradle of filth is black metal and slipknot is death metal. One guy I know that listens to norma jean, as i lay dying, and unearth, called me emo for listening to acid bath. How stupid can you be? You posers need to wise up and listen to real metal, such as Morbid Angel, Darkthrone, Amon Amarth, OLD Sepultura, and Dissection. |
