It's been out for a while and leaked a for some time now.
It's great - it took a while for the new vocalist's style to grow on me but I think it's a great album. It shows that they've actually grown as muscians and have the courage to choose progression over rewriting the formula that's been proven to be succesful.
The album perfectly blended their "technical noise" sound with the sound from their work with Mike Patton...buy it now - get the digipack with the dvd.

how do they write songs? play randomly and record it, then practice to it? i understand many regard them as a great band, and the technical skill of the guitar players is notable as well as the drumming, but I am perplexed as to how anyone can sit down and listen to the first full length they released in its entirety and actually enjoy it. but to be fair, I could not listen to the first full length straight through and maybe missed a crucial element of the album that would have somehow tied the chaoticness together.

Not much of a grindcore fan, eh? Their non-formulatic style is certainly a required taste but couple it with their technicality, jazz inflluences, and violence inducing breakdowns and you've got a band that's more than worth getting used to.
