I actually like this just a little better than Impact is Imminent, if only because this one at least has a bit of variety instead of being generic thrash metal all throughout. That, and the highlights are pretty good songs in their own right. The one fast thrash metal song at the end, Feeding Time at the Zoo, is Exodus doing a fine job at what they do best. Good Day to Die and Me Myself & I are both solid tracks and the best example of the style most typical of this album. As for said style, it's midtempo, "groovy", and depending on the song, can be a fun time or quite boring, with most songs being just about passable. As would become a big problem with this band, most of the songs are way overlong. This is definitely a lesser attempt at a "Black Album" than the ones by Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, but they were at least trying harder on here than on Impact is Imminent.

A considerable step up from the ambitious yet tired III, Exodus strip down their thrash considerably and slip on their groove. The result is more enjoyable than you think; Exodus's guitar work is a template to how the ideal groove metal sound should be, and this is backed up by a smart knack for catchy riffs even if they're sometimes played for too long. The solos are pitch perfect here too, in fact, their best solos ever recorded, balancing melody with technicality. "Thorn in My Side" is a great mid-tempo opener which sets the tone for the rest of the album (the lyrical content and song names are based on metaphors), and the likes of "Fuel For The Fire," "Count Your Blessings," and "Feeding Time At The Zoo" are fully realized thrash tunes with melodic tendencies which sound great and show us how they still have thrash left in them [up to this point]. The covers don't work, and the album could've been trimmed down by 15 minutes or so, but it's a good album and perhaps better than most of their post-Tempo output.

After the memorable Fabulous disaster these guys were a little lost. Force Of Habit have some good moments but is too boring to be among their best work.
