There is very little filler material. This album also brings back the original line-up of Michael Gilbert on guitar (the best they ever had, in my opinion) and Kelly David Smith on drums. You even have Jason Newsted co-write on some of the songs, but that is as far as that goes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNuance and complexity are notable on \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRun \u0026amp; Hide\u003c\/em\u003e, with keys dominating the melody line, and gritty guitar incrementally finding its place. Brilliant stuff.  AK’s vocal array  literally surfs effortlessly. Likewise, \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRabbit’s Foot \u003c\/em\u003eis mid-tempo metal with a crazy hook-laden chorus. \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlay Your Part\u003c\/em\u003e is a crunchy number, reminiscent of British-styled metal. \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRage\u003c\/em\u003e is intensity and speed the way we like our Flots to be.

Their prior album, \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUnnatural Selection\u003c\/em\u003e, was a step towards their thrash metal roots. \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMy God\u003c\/em\u003e is like the oil change your vehicle has been gasping for to get it screaming down the highway. It is one of the stronger albums they had done in over a decade. There may have been a legitimate fear that the band was going to become another Stone Temple Pilots-type band. But thanks be to all that is sacred, F \u0026amp; J found their way back to writing great songs again.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFlotsam And Jetsam suffered, as I see it, from the 90s invasion of introspective indie rock. They found their foothold in solid fashion with \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMy God\u003c\/em\u003e. If anything, Flots took what they gleaned from 90s heavier fare music and wrote extremely catchy choruses for this album. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrom the slow fade in of\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Dig Me Up To Bury Me\u003c\/em\u003e, the thrash influences tap you on the shoulder to remind you F \u0026amp; J still have it in aces. It’s a nod to \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNo Place For Disgrace\u003c\/em\u003e. Another in yer face rocker, \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWeather To Do\u003c\/em\u003e, brings in a more alt-metal variation while keeping the guitars true to the roots.   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCamera Eye\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e comes in fast and heavy and addresses the absurdity of unnecessary surveillance cameras. Again, not thrash, but really good 90s hybrid metal. The next song, \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTrash\u003c\/em\u003e, surprised me; it’s a song that shows what AK is capable of doing with his voice. The last long track on the album entitled \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI.A.M.N \u003c\/em\u003eincludes an acoustic rendition of \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTrash\u003c\/em\u003e, and is very much worthy of hearing if you have the patience to wade through an ambient Hispanic-flavored instrumental piece that precedes it. The acoustic version of Trash accents AK’s versatile voice perfectly. I did not think it belonged on this album, but after repeated listens of the album, it worked its magic. I seriously wish AK would have recorded a whole project of this Southern outlaw balladry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf you found the album art for \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMy God\u003c\/em\u003e intriguing, the title track song sheds light on it, connecting religious superiority with politics and war in a thoughtful way:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“My god is the only one\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMy way is the way\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf you don't want to side with me\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYour soul will turn to clay\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMy god is the only one\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMy way supreme\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNo one understands your ways\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNo one will sympathize\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe all think you wrap your religion\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTo keep what's left inside\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNo one is on your side, no\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNo one else wants to die\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI don't want to say you're out of your head\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBut I can see right through your mind”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis album has a good amount of variance and deserves multiple listens to be better appreciated.
