I know what you mean about sacrament, lat. I can still throw the disc in and play the entire thing through though. Ashes of the wake is very strong, and Wrath even has some good moments (set to fail, reclamation, contractor). Resolution hasn't left my cd player in my car or in the gym since I bought it Tuesday after work. From the moment the cd starts to the moment it ends, it is all raw and pure metal done by some very capable musicians and songwriters. I think what stands out to me on this is that they have taken some risks in the songwriting, and where I'm standing, it has paid off.
