* SeasonalRot: ''Titans of Creation'' was generally panned as a phoned-in, uninspired album on release by fans and critics alike, and the general consensus seems to be that it's modern Testament by numbers with way too many mid-paced tracks and anemic songwriting, and has the feel of an album that was written just to have something to tour on.
