By having an excellent/modern sound, and by essentially being a tech thrash outfit relentlessly playing "linear" thrash, Italy's Ultra-Violence have formed a distinctive style of their own, especially with Deflecting the Flow. In the fittingly dubbed Operation Misdirection, they experiment with foreign elements, such as post metal (album opener) and plain rock; the incorporation of those elements into thrash is not bad at all, but then again nothing groundbreaking too. The album flows seamlessly, save for the fact that nothing completely new is heard through and through, whereas the cover to "Money for Nothing" is spot on with the album's character, and awesome.
