One of the best thrash albums ever. Should be a lot more known than it is.

Classic thrash metal institution, what treshelize all around and make you bang!
Powerful, fast , aggressive, if we can say this is classic example as TM should be, do it this way
or play something else.

The music is kind of ok but the vocals ruin it for me. These are probably the weakest vocals I've heard in thrash, and the production doesn't make it any better. I wouldn't want to say it's overrated, but I must, and highly so in this case.

Yes well based on my experiences of thrashes this is one of the most overrated ones. Vocals suck donkey balls IMO

I am not a fan of the vocals either. They dont fit thrash too well and drag the album down somewhat.
But the songwriting and the riffing is gold. And the production on the spotify version I spun is absolutely alright, good actually I would say.

by Looking at the ratings nobody seems to be with me on this one, haha. Well, I never liked the band very much nor the album so I must go against the crowd.

Solid thrash, I agree about the vocals being nothing special, but they're passable. Quite enjoyable, it will go into my thrash list.
