SEBASTIAN BACH’S ANGEL DOWN THE BEST METAL ALBUM OF THE 21ST CENTURY?

I understand being overly effusive about an album you love, especially when you’ve just discovered said album and it’s all so fresh in your mind (in fact, I’m more than a little tempted to jizz a few thousand words about A7X’s self-titled, which, it’s fair to say, I like wwwwaaaaayyyy more than I thought I would, and is almost certainly the pop-metal release of the year).

But Paul Cashmere’s review of Sebastian Bach’s forthcoming Angel Down, posted now over at Undercover.com, makes me wonder if the dude isn’t getting a little ahead of himself:

“I can tell you that without a doubt… Angel Down is the metal album of the year, if not the 21st Century so far… This is the album you want Chinese Democracy to be… It is a statement.”

Stupid rapping aside, I don’t think it’s a secret that we’re Bach fans around here; still, it’s really, really, really, really, really, really, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hard to believe that Bach just made the best metal album of the 21st Century so far. But if this dude has a copy, the whole thing should leak any second now, so I guess we’ll know soon enough.
