So is their new record as good as all the reviews are saying?

hah that's a blast from the past! LoG don't seem to be ILX favourites do they

Lamb of God are a modern-day Pantera (without the racism) - they have the highest record-sales-to-extremeness ratio of anyone outside of Slipknot and both of those bands have complicated relationships with underground metal fans.

I listened to the new one a few times and a few tracks on what would likely be the second side of the album were thrashy enough but most of the rest was way too groove metal for my tastes and the Jamey Jasta track just seemed like the worst of both worlds there.

I'd see them live, especially if they took out a smaller band I liked, but they seem to be touring in huge sheds on package tours where they're the only band I am interested in and I don't have the time or money for that.

The Burn The Priest covers record last year was fun though!

I have no problem with LOG but it makes no real sense to approach them as a metal band or hold them against supposed metal standards, they're a great hardcore band and that's all they need to be.
