The fourth album in a row of no-frills power thrash. Despite the total lack of originality or diversity within these four albums, this is probably the most consistent run of releases in the band's entire multi-decade history. Having said that, this is probably the weakest of the four... and not just because it's the fourth collection of the same thing. The back half of this album is definitely weaker than the opening half (although the closing song is really good, too).rOn a side note, I do have to say that I hear a little bit of Metallica's "Hardwired" in "A New Kind of Hero" and a shit-ton of Sacred Reich's "Independent" on "Primal"
