I haven't heard State of Euphoria but I can honestly say it's probably better then "Persistence of time". That album was a terrible waste of Belladonna's final appearance in the band. Nice review though Zad, you should write for MA.

Cheers, but the last review I submitted was rejected because of NO REASON AT ALL and so ever since I've held a grudge.

Finale is a great great song.

Some good songs on this album but on the whole it is a bit of a step down like it said in the review. The first 4 songs are killer but the quality drops after that in my opinion.. Finale finishes the album off in style though.

WTF? Persistence of Time is a fantastic record.

Compared to the rest of their 80s stuff (from Spreading the Disease to Persistence of Time) this album really sticks out as a weak point for me. I've tried to get into it, I really have, but something about it just kind of annoys me a little, I'm not sure what it is. I can listen to it and enjoy it, but not for long, and not repeatedly, that's for sure. And hey Zad, not that I'm a fanboy or anything but that little dig at Evile seemed a tad harsh? Even for your jaded, bitter self

I dunno, I guess I feel it's a bit too early to write them off as 'pretenders', give 'em a couple more albums maybe...I guess you are a critic by trade though lol

Heh, don't take the Evile jab personally, they were the first band that came to mind when I was trying to think of a modern Thrash horde to compare the 'thrax to.

lol yeah fair enough...as I say I'm no big fan myself, but I definitely think there are far worse new thrash bands out there...having said that though there are better ones too

I agree. There is just something with this album that doesnt feel right. Can't put my finger on it. It is a pretty good album but it's sandwiched in between some great albums..

Why even compare?

Making a prediction about which bands will enter legendary status in the Thrash scene and which won't? It wasn't a musical comparison, as you're no doubt aware.
