Man, this is some weak song material. I only checked this out because I thought that the band had something worthwhile left in store after the debut. TBH the musical direction isn't bad at all, but nothing from musicianship or songwriting sounds great or memorable and while the vocals aren't bad they sound kind of like a more sellout version of Hetfield. In hindsight, listening to this record wasn't one of the best moves I've made in life and I think this album makes the debut sound a flawed masterpiece in comparison.
