The album was produced and mixed by Josh Wilbur as was the previous album. The main difference with previous records is that its writing process started before they ended touring on ''[[Wrath (Lamb of God album)|Wrath]]'', and started in hotel rooms on a laptop.<ref name="Metalship">{{cite web| author=Metalship |date=2012-02-22 |url=http://en.metalship.org/interviews/210-Lamb%20Of%20God |title=Interview with John Campbell (Lamb of God bassist) |publisher=Metalship |accessdate=2012-02-28}}</ref>
Like the band's debut ''[[Burn the Priest]]'', ''Resolution'' contains elements of [[thrash metal]] along with the [[groove metal]] style the band have become known for.


Besides the normal edition a two disc was available in the UK to pre-order for a limited time, containing a bonus 12-track live album entitled "''Wrath'' – Tour 2009/2010," which was only available through [[Amazon.co.uk]], [[Play.com]] and [[HMV]].<ref>(October 31, 2011).

Resolution is the seventh studio album by American heavy metal band Lamb of God. It is available on a single disc CD or a two-disc deluxe edition.[3][4]

Information

[edit]

The album was produced and mixed by Josh Wilbur as was the previous album. The main difference with previous records is that its writing process started before they ended touring on Wrath, and started in hotel rooms on a laptop.[5]

Besides the normal edition a two disc was available in the UK to pre-order for a limited time, containing a bonus 12-track live album entitled "Wrath – Tour 2009/2010," which was only available through Amazon.co.uk, Play.com and HMV.[6] The lead single, entitled "Ghost Walking", was released on December 5, 2011. The album debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200 and number 1 on the Rock Chart.[7] The album sold around 52,000 copies in the U.S. during the first week of release.[8] The album has sold 161,000 copies in the US as of June 2015.

The iTunes edition comes with two bonus tracks, the first is an exclusive track titled "Digital Sands" and the second is a live version of the song "Vigil" originally from the album As the Palaces Burn.

The Japanese edition also comes with an exclusive track, "Bury Me Under the Sun".

Reception

[edit]

Resolution received mostly positive reviews. On Metacritic, the album attained an overall score of 72 out of 100, based on 18 reviews from professional critics.[9] Rick Florino of Artistdirect gave the album 5 out of 5 stars stating that it was "Lamb of God at their finest."[10] Carla Gillis of Now Magazine gave it three out of five stars and said, "Resolution is as aggressive as ever, no mean feat for a band seven albums in, and rife with memorable riffs ("Desolation," "The Undertow," "Barbarosa"). There are new proggier and acoustic bits ("Ghost Walking") on display."[11]
