Definitely a better release than their newer material in my opinion.  The vocalist (RIP) sets the tone for this one.  And the guitars are simply astounding!  The production was a little raw, but I think that that's what they wanted.  I liked all the songs on here and I think that they have a lot to offer the metal world.  I like this crossover/thrash genres blended.  Seems to work well for them.  The vocals are going good with the music!  And the lead guitars were sick. I love the riffs on here! Definitely a boon to the release. Everyone is contributing something positive to this release!  An immensely awesome album!

I think that the riffs hit home with me more than anything else.  I'm new to the crossover genre, I suppose they captured that and thrash alongside it.  Both genres are killer, they just killed it here!  I enjoyed this whole album!  These guys I hope will be around for a long time and I hope that they're going to find a replacement to their deceased vocalist!  He was great, sad to see him leave this Earth.  The music on here is top notch impeccable.  I took note to the guitar riffs the most.  But all members seemed to have contributed much to this album.  They are definitely tops with me, ABSOLUTELY!

The production was a little raw, but not by much!  They did their job well on here.  From all aspects, I say that this is their best release.  It's over 30 minutes and it's straightforward in terms of music/guitars.  Everyone did their part, I'm glad I found this release!  It captures some great music and what makes a quality release possible.  I liked all of their material on here.  The tempos, the meaty riffs, the leads, vocals, drums the whole works.  They killed it on here so to speak!  They definitely are ahead of their time with this.  What a great contribution to the metal world, it's a shame their vocalist died!

I haven't bought this CD yet, but I might.  I'm trying to downsize my collection and maybe just go digital.  But I still think buying the CD to benefit the music industry is a must.  I know all this is streaming but the physical copies to me are always the best.  However, a wide majority of people just stream music through Spotify but showing the band that you really like their music.  Get the CD, this one doesn't lack in any respect!  Actually, I just bought the CD to show support for the band.  I took my own advice and did it!  We need listeners to remember CD's will never go out of style!  Check out this LP!
