Yeah, heard about 4-5 tracks. Not bad, not bad at all

It's fucking killer! It sounds like it should have come out right after Burn My Eyes.

This album is pretty good;not that great,but still consistent.Back in 94 ,this album was the hype,THE album of the year!Not really my cup of tea.Back then,my favorite stuff was Megadeth's Youthanasia,Dickinson's Balls to Picasso and Slayer's Divine Intervention.Long after the hype died down,i decided to give this album a try.It was 3 or 4 years ago.And i didn't hate it ,like i was expecting myself to!One of the good "thrash "albums from 94...along with Pantera's Far Beyond...,Suicidal Tendencies' Suicidal for Life and Testament's Low!

I just found this old post; and i was so shocked, i had to quote myself.

I listened to this album today, and it's such a piece of crap; there's not even ONE decent song on it.
This album is the last nail in thrash metal's coffin.

Maybe not a classic but still a great fucking album if you ask me. Although I probably stand alone on this one.

I had it sitting around for a while and tried to check it out a couple times and there was absolutely no way I was going to get into this record, so I stopped caring. This band has never done anything for me, even back when mediocre was good enough a long time ago.

Definitely a classic album.

I remember when it came out and it was huge. Massive metal album and still awesome to this day.

As for it being too young - I suppose then Darkthrone's Under A Funeral Moon is too young or anything by Burzum.

Oh but wait - they're kvlt and Black Metal is fashionable right now.

By the way you can hear bits of stuff like Machine Head, Fear Factory and Pantera in a lot of Death Metal bands of the day after they got sick of playing the same old stuff for 5 years. Entombed, Napalm Death, Morbid Angel etc all embraced some of the groove metal (or post Thrash as we called it back then) for better or worse.
