Finally

I don't know, I'd much rather have a new ANb album than a Pig Destroyer one.

I'm more eager for Pig Destroyer. I do hope for a better production which was the only thing that lowered the quality of Book Burner.
I forgive them though, still my favorite grindcore band of all time.

Simple: Prowler In The Yard, Terrifyer, their human drummer in the first Three albums >>> drum machine (not too keen on their new drummer though), and the fact that Hayes's lyrics are among the VERY BEST in grindcore. Going far beyond what most of the genre goes for from day one specially in Terrifyer where there are plenty of love songs... I'm not seeing a lot of grindcore bands doing that sort of thing. They are definitely a band I hold on a personal level. Terrifyer is to me a grindcore version of When The Kite String Pops, at least in lyrical content and how the signer expresses himself since he's not your average grindcore vocalist either.

I disagree. ANb have funny lyrics, the drum machine sounds awesome and fits unlike most bands with drum machines. On Terrifyer being like a grind WTKSP, I might agree with that, but I prefer Agorapocalypse over any other grindcore album.

To me, their lyrics are simply novelty + weird for the sake of being weird... Which isn't particularly daring in grindcore anyways. So not much substance in terms of album concepts. I do agree the drum machine sounds awesome for being what it is and certainly some of the best among the bands that use it. But to compare it to how the human drummer presents himself in PG's first albums is laughable.
