I really liked this album when I listened it for the first time. Why has this album got such a low score?

Hmm... I dont like this album very much. Its definitely not in the same league as their first 2 albums IMO which I consider to be classics.

6.5 is probably the rating I would give it. I do like some of the songs near the end of the album. "Mind's I" is probably my fave song from the album.

The Power of the first records is gone, but the voice of Russ was never better than on this record.

I absolutely can not understand the low ratings. I think the album is awesome. Does not have the hardness and speed of its predecessors, but the songs are great and melodic. Absolutely strong production. And vocally it's Russ Anderson's masterpiece (you can hear Feed The Hand, for example), so the 2 classic albums can not keep up, 10/10 points. The first half of the disc is mega-strong, towards the end, the quality goes down a bit. For me an excellent album that does not have to hide behind "Forbidden Evil" and "Twisted into Form", even if not quite as violent is beaten. First half of the album 9.5, second 8 - 8.5 points.

= 9/10 points, completely undervalued

Definitely worse than the first two albums, but still very solid thrash/groove stuff. I actually dig the atmosphere on this record. Good.
