| This album features very original guitar riffs and singing, great drums and bass. Most metal albums turn the bass down, not this one. Take caught in a mosh for the best example. The arrangements are very interesting such as the solo for the track Indians. It features an Indian feel to complement the song. Also the acoustic intro on A.D.I was surprising and added cool element to a good song. |

If any death metal album can be overlooked, it's this one. Chuck started to break away from repetitive gore influenced death metal and began writing insightful and more meaningful lyrics, i.e. Altering the Future, the highlight of this album. I would say there is a bit of a thrash feel here that really adds to the album. Vocally, this is my favorite for Death. Chuck's vocals are raw, angry, and I prefer them to the later screechy vocals of The Sound of Perseverance (an excellent album). James Murphy contributes a balance of tasteful and shredding solos that send this album over the top. As far as drums go, the fills and rhythm work is great. I don't even play drums and I can see how simple Bill Andrew's lines are (compared to future Death drummers), however the drum work is really catchy. Listening to this album, I can't see why people think of this as Death's weakest work.
Using our laws to help their escape
Easy way out is what we create
Claiming insane is the way to freedom
People are stupid enough to believe them

| Before I even listened to this, I figured it would never live up to the great Birds of Fire. I was right, yet at the same time I had underestimated this album. Power of Love absolutely floors me, John McLaughlin's acoustic techique is incredible. Many of the compositions feature a lot of orchestral/synth sounding stuff which I was not a fan of, although fortunately for you the listener, the "worst" songs on here are also the shortest. While the last track breaks the 19 minute mark, it shines as the second best track. (Power of Love is extraordinary). I highly recommend picking this up, although I prefer Birds of Fire. |
