Edited one year agoThis album is not underrated. It almost came off sterile and over produced. It is an amalgamation of Thrash done before. There is not a ounce of originality on this recording, even though it is well produced and well crafted. This really doesn't hold a candle to Kreator, or Death Angel, Testament or even Nuclear Assault. It almost sounds like studio musicians and a record producer created a "Thrash/Speed-Metal album to try and cash in on a trend. I love this album but it's too cliche' to be a real classic. -
Absolute gem, very underrated thrash album. This has become my go to since becoming bored with Anthrax and Metallica. This is just heavier, and with better riffs.

Surprisingly a pretty amazing album. Sures Metallica in precision and speed in my opinion. Probably one of the first US thrash bands to experiment with offbeat rhythms. Meshuggah vibe.
