Obituary의 Frozen in Time은 밴드가 8년 만에 발표한 복귀작으로, 팬들 사이에서 오랜 기다림 끝에 등장한 반가운 앨범이었다. 1997년 Back from the Dead 이후 활동 중단을 선언했던 그들이 돌아왔다는 것만으로도 데스 메탈 씬에는 의미가 있었다. 앨범은 밴드 특유의 둔탁하고 육중한 리프와 John Tardy의 독보적인 그로울링 보컬을 여전히 유지하고 있으며, 전반적으로 안정감 있는 사운드와 프로덕션으로 복귀작다운 무게감을 갖췄다. 특히 Insane이나 Redneck Stomp 같은 곡들은 여전히 무거운 그루브와 중저음 중심의 흐름을 고스란히 담아내고 있다. 그러나 이 앨범에서 느껴지는 Obituary는 분명 예전과는 다르다. 1989년 Slowly We Rot나 1990년 Cause of Death 시절의 음침하고 피비린내 나는 분위기, 듣는 이를 짓누르는 듯한 원초적인 위압감은 이제 많이 누그러져 있다. Frozen in Time은 더 다듬어진 사운드와 현대적인 프로덕션을 통해 정제된 느낌을 주지만, 그만큼 날것의 파괴력은 줄어들었다. 곡들의 구성도 비교적 직선적이고 반복적인 편으로, 초창기 작품 특유의 기괴하고 예측 불가능한 전개는 약화되어 있다.
그렇다고 이 앨범이 무디거나 미흡하다는 의미는 아니다. 오히려 Frozen in Time은 중견 밴드로서의 안정감과 여전히 살아 있는 리프 메이킹 능 ... See More

Frozen in Time, by Obituary, is the perfect example of the combination between thrash metal and death metal. Right away, for example, the instrumental track sounds like something made by Slayer or Testament. This band is probably the best of its kind at making brutal and spectacular riffs that perfectly match vocalist John Tardy's way of singing. Donald Tardy also brings a great feel with those drum beats.
The instrumental Redneck Stomp definitely is one of the top 5 tracks in the record. Simple but addictive as hell.
On the Floor keeps the energy up. That thrash metal beggining with the usual drum beats alongside the main riff brings an indication of a great song. The guitars along with the chorus “On the floor” repeated by John are impeccable. One of the best breakdowns ever. Also a top 5 of this record, for me.
Blindsided has an amazing main riff with easy lyrics. It basically repeats most of the words, which I particularly like. In a Death Metal song, it's good to just put a few words. The highlight is the way you sing and the captivating instrumental parts.
Back Inside is regular. The song has a predictable yet catchy rhythm and riffs that are perfect for headbanging
Stand Alone is not the best track, but a little above the average because of the riff in the middle of the song.
Mindset has great guitar work. The main riff along with the transitions in the middle are great
Slow Death reminds a little of the first track in the beggining. A good so ... See More

Judging by the sheer popularity of the Track Redneck Stomp I was here hoping that this album would be much faster, technical, and brutal than their previous albums but I am yet again met by an album that is not death metal. It is indeed a big step up from their previous two albums and genuinely does have some good writing to it but my criticism comes from the sheer disappointment of this album not being death metal. Obituary surely have let me down here.

여기 메킹 유저분들 말씀처럼 1집보다 못하다 우려먹어도 너무 우려먹었다란 건 상당히 인정한다. 근데 이 앨범은 부고옹 2기체제를 제대로 구축했고 나는 신선하게 들렸다.
