If you were 2 years old or under the age of, say, 12 when Burn My Eyes came out, I'm not sure how you can even begin to dispute it's influence. That album is brutal metal at it's best! When that album came out the metal scene went nuts over it! It's a classic and it's NOT nu-metal.
And Zad, Al reviewed it but I guess it wasn't posted. It's still out there, though. I wonder if it was overlooked by mistake.
