Warhead - Strange Age (2002)

I'm not really sure what to say about this. It's supposed to be "progressive death metal", but I find it neither progressive nor deathy. Sure, it's got growly vocals, but there's no aggression to the music, it's all mid-paced, samey, and just downright boring. It reminds me a little of some of the melodic death albums from the early-90's like Babylon Sad and Dark Millennium, when bands were starting to branch out and try new things. However, in the early 90's death metal was still pretty new, and it was a whole different genre in 2002. Despite some pretty crisp production and decent playing (and even a few catchy riffs), there's really nothing to recommend tracking this down.
