If any chance you're dropping straight into this review without prior knowledge of this band, let me hell you. If not, hell to you too. This is Nuclear Assault. How could you not know them? Alright, let's dive in...

This was their second best album from their catalog. AND if you just glance down their other albums, probably you'll see the ratings they achieved. One of the great Thrash Metal band to be disbanded. You ain't impressed? who cares?! blame your fucking ears. They were just great.

Great at being unoriginal, run-of-the-mill thrash band? Oh yeah, they're fantastic.
Like I said, If I don't know any better I'd say these guys were a pale rip-off of Municipal Waste.

Hey, it's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it.

Municipal Waste are a generic pale rip off of Nuclear Assault. At least NA were original and wrote better songs.

I really hope the whole rip-off at MW is a joke.

not on my part because it is clear MW ripped off Nuclear Assault and they even admitted to it.

Yeah I know... I should have been a bit more specific on which way the rip-off was obviously not true.

This is a very good album, although I think their all time best album is "Handle With Care". And yep, it's clear that MW are ripping off Nuclear Assault, all the while making inferior music to what NA made at their best.

NA's best are by far Game Over and Survive, Handle With Care is okay though

I love this release, had it on cassette back in '88. I got it because I saw "Brainwashed" on Headbangers Ball lol.

AND that same goes with the revivalist modern Thrash Metal bands. That day is not so far where you will see an innovative Thrash Metal band will rip Slayer completely. It's pointless to discuss about the music the disbanded bands used to play with the bands that are now coming completely innovative.

Of the first three albums, it's my favourite, it's the album that I hear most of the time.

Bought it on cassette when I was a wee lad. I wore that tape down!

I'm sure there is no shortage of nostalgia in my review but I can still run this album and enjoy the hell out of it.

The Led Zeppelin cover is terrible but otherwise this is a pretty fun collection of thrash songs.

Out of their first three albums this is my favourite. It really, really sucks that this one was released through I.R.S. Records which went down in the 90's, the same thing with the late 80's Black Sabbath albums which totally kick ass. There must be some especially shitty legal bullshit going on with that I.R.S. catalogue, since many of those records haven't been re-released in years or even decades as far as I know. That sucks.
