Listened to this one so many times, and I just don't dig it.

I enjoy this although i rarely listen to it. The vocals are an acquired taste, maybe that is why so many cannot dig it?

And I completely agree with that. Simply a "thrashterpiece".

Well, I can understand why some people won't find this appealing.
In my opinion, it's one of those Thrash metal gems that are overlooked very often, among Toxik, Anacrusis, Coroner, and Mekong Delta, it's one of those bands that people have to listen to have a better understanding of Progressive/Technical Thrash metal.

In some ways better than the 1st album, but also in some ways worse. Maybe it's just for me, that some parts sound too prog/technical and don't fit to the songs they are part of.

I was blown away with the musicianship and songwriting when this album came out, but listening again after all these years the same thing that kept it off my favorites list persists now...

Brilliant music. Tecchio's voice just ain't my thing.
