4.0 excellentManiacBlasphemer | October 8th 19

Death Angel has the bad luck of having their best album cited as their weakest among those released in their early phase. Thrash fans were quick to lambaste this album for whatever reason, other than the music it seems. Or it was that time of the month for time. Unlike the debut, this album has a better production value and more varied songwriting. Unlike the next album, it is not overproduced, sterile, commercialized thrash-lite drivel. I guess much of the disappointment with this album comes from the fact that Death Angel took a less trve approach with thrash than the full-blown aggression on the debut. In other words, fans expected a TUV clone. Best tracks are Bored, Confused, Open Up, Mind Rape and Why You Do This. Guilty of Innocence and 3rd Floor are good as well while Road Mutants is solid. Cold Gin and Shores of Sin are average. Devil's Metal is a bit atypical, seems to be an older recording and would have fitted better on the debut album. It is a tad too primitive and doesn't really mingle well with the other songs on this album.

3.0 goodRobbit | February 28th 17

I've had this album since it was first released and always wanted to like it more than I actually do. I have great respect for the musicianship and originality of Death Angel's take on thrash metal. I think some of the problem for me is that their ideas tend to be just a bit too quirky to stick in my memory for long. My favorite songs are probably "Road Mutants", "Open Up" and "Mind Rape". "Bored" is okay, but the riff is a bit, um, boring... Great playing, but the songs are simply good at best.
