Wow! This album is fast and heavy! I actually got into them with their Dark Roots album and bought the bonus cd pack and then proceeded to buy the rest of their albums. But this C.D is the most thrash metal I have heard out of all of their albums AND IT'S AWESOME! The whole album is laced with incredible solos, fantastic drum beats and great bass and even some beautiful melody . I especially like how Chuck Billy sings The Pale King and think he should sing a lot more of his songs like that. One of the very best tracks that stands out for me is #8 Neptune's Spear it has a outstanding melodic solo that starts out at around the 2 minute and 33 second mark and is one of the best I've ever heard. This album flat out delivers! It is an instant top album in their discography!
