As much as I love Overkill, new or old or their mid-period stuff, I never could really get into this album. It's got some good songs yes, but I just can never listen to it fully in one sitting.

I agree the album is overlong at 53 minutes. They should probably have cut at least the Edgar Winter cover, and maybe one other track. Hard to say which, as there's nothing bad, it's just a long album.

Having said that, the 7 tracks I listed in the killing songs more than justify the score. That's 7 bonafide thrash classics.

I love this album. In my opinion it is a classic. I think it was there best since "Feel The Fire". The production on the drums and guitars is killer! Coma is a great tune! :dio:

Love this album too, though not as much as Years of Decay.

Still Horrorscope has got some epic material on it.

Yeah, Overkill dropped out of the Minneapolis show last weekend. That really sucked! Testament was awesome though. The Meshuggah show the next night was awesome too, except for the large amount of Hipsters in the audience. I never felt like punching random strangers until that night.
