So I started listening to Vital Remains' Icons of Evil lately.  Honestly, the album isn't that good.  Aside from the moments of melody and acoustics, every song is exactly the same: a wall of blast beats with choppy guttural vocals.  

Anyone one else agree?

I agree. I have Icons of Evil, but for some reason I am not liking the production on it. I prefer Dechristianize and Forever Underground.

IMO, the production, especially the drum production, is way better than Dechristianize.  But the music is too similar.  It's got some nice moments, but it's too much like Dechristianize.  I prefer FU and DotA much more, but the vocals are pretty lame.  Benton actually makes the last two Vital Remains' discs for me.  I don't know, they are going to have to do something more - like less blasts and more variety in their songs - or next time I'm not going to bother.

But I did see them live in '06 - AMAZING!!!

Forever Underground is one of the releases I like by Vital Remians, I have burnt copies of that and Dawn of the Apocalypse. So soon I am going to replace them with originals. How is Let Us Pray by Vital Remains?

I've never heard Let Us Prey.  But I have heard Into Cold Darkness and, IMO, it sucks.

Yep. I kind of figured that.
