Well,I just heard the entire album "Circle The Wagons" (2010) by one of my long-time fav.bands "Darkthrone" and sadly I have to say and admit that it is the worst Darkthrone album to date!! I know that Nocturno and Fenriz diviate from the rest of the wanna-be black metal scene and changing styles is what they are about these days but fuckin a,what I'm hearing is anything but 'Darkthrone".
They call thier new style black heavy metal punk but it doesn't sound anything like it.Thier last 2 albums 2008 Dark Thrones And Black Flags and 2007's "F.O.A.D." sounded like black heavy metal punk but this new album is ridiculous in my ears,the "singing" is absolutely horrible and too un-Darkthrone-like.
I think they have gone too far the other way.I was really looking forwards to this new release only to discover this once great band is now 'dead". (SIGH). So much for one of my favorite bands,not any more.
