This is a huge step down from their debut which was truly amazing trash attack. They went basically down the sink hole along with the genre.

Sounds just as god-awful as the debut.

If they re-branded after their debut and released this it would have been much better received. It's not great or terrible, but when compared to Eternal Nightmare, it understandably gets dumpstered on.

To me most of the album is underwhelming songs. "I Profit" and "Officer Nice" is great start but it sounds like Vio-lence became 2nd Anthrax after those two songs, the rest with very generic songwriting. And I have given the songs plenty of opportunities in number of plays, yet they won't appear any better. The Eternal Nightmare's songwriting is missed and the vocals aren't as strong here either. I'm close to rating this average, but based on my previous experiences with average thrash I'd say this album is a tad better than that.

I agree, the first two songs are good, the rest is average Thrash, even for the time. You were thinking of Anthrax, for me they remind of Overkill over a great part of this record.
