This is perfect

Blackfire rules! Best Sodom album, definitely.

Agreed, best work yet

Hmm...I find this album slightly overrated! (puts flame suit on) I prefer Better Off Dead myself, and some of the later albums, like Code Red. The title track, Tired And Red, and Exhibition Bout though, are absloute classic thrash songs though, and among Sodom's best! Frank Blackfire was just what the band needed at that point. This album, and Persecution Mania were far superior to what came before them! xD

Best thrash album I heard in a while. Vocals slightly weak though...

Pretty good but not as great as I was expecting. My leaast favorite aspect is the constant changes in speed......JUST STAY FAST.

It gives you time to bob your head for a minute before wrecking your neck again.

I actually do like some of that... but it was too much fer mee!

I agree the vocals are a tad weak. That live vid of Agent Orange on youtube. Man I wish it sounded like that.

I feel they're kind of uninspired. Like they lack the thrashing energy that would make you headbang like crazy.

Its in fact Persecution mania 2, but more mature and with a clearer production.With Extreme agression the best thrash metal album of 1989.

This album makes war seem like a great adventure, which is not so

Overrated but even very good
agent orange(song) sounds a little bit like death squad from sacred reich

A little bit? Its exactly the same riff, the intro to that song is a slightly modified version of 'In My Darkest Hour' (Megadeth). They imitated many other riffs from other bands too.

Probably my favorite thrash metal album...

By far, one of the best thrash metal album I've heard...

I've stopped listening to a lot of old school thrash but some albums like this and mostly Slayer's back catalog still get some attention. Too good to forget about.

One of the most overrated albums in the metal history.

A great thrash album!

Operation Ranch Hand is one of the worst war crimes
in the history of military operations.Spraying people and their crops with
poison,the thing only Americans or British could come up to!
Anyway,great album by thrash masters.

What a classic! Best Teutonic thrash I am aware of. The Tank cover falls a bit out of range here. Exhibition Bout probably dispensable, Incest maybe too. Other than that, masterpiece (in particular the title track). Somewhere aoround 9.0 for me.

One of my favorite thrash albums ever.

The fuck do you mean the fire doesn't burn.. This album burns and forces you to bang your head like there is no tomorrow.

A teutonic thrash classic! Especially the first 3 tracks.

8.6/10 for me.

I first found this pretty boring. But now I find it quite good It grows on me. The guitar sound is pretty excellent

My favorites are "Magic Dragon", "Agent Orange", "Tired and Red", and "Remember the Fallen". "Baptism of Fire" is also good

Perhaps slightly overrated, but on MS it's rightfully below Beneath the Remains and Altars of Madness for 1989

The very best teutonic thrash has to offer

This is an onslaught of ferocious speedy riffs, it's flipping great speedy stuff really, and the vocals aren't bad, but I've heard much better, and the lyrics and songwriting seem a bit on the generic side. I still prefer Kreator, but I can see me warming to them.

Oh yeah this album sounds surprisingly great after a long time away from it. One moment it sounds almost bay area style thrash, then after like blackened thrash and vice versa, and the occasional but rare punk influences are welcome addition too.

Not quite get the appeal of this record as it sounds pretty derivative. Magic Dragon has the best gallop riff ever.
