| I really want to give this more, but there just is not enough variety. Many classic anthem-type-esque tunes on here though and is instantly gratying to listen to, but doesn't quite stand the test of time like its successor. |

| This an excellent rock and roll album. In a good way they changed direction, but this is a good place to be. This is hard and it rocks. |
| Entombed DCLXVI: To Ride Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth | 4.0 |
| This one seems to split people. To Ride has really good tunes, and yes it is Rock and Roll. Wreckage is one of the best endings to any album. You need to e-n-j-o-y this. |
| Floodgate Penalty | 3.5 |
| This one flopped pretty badly. Came out at a time when nu-metal was digging in, and this was more straightforward stripped down metal. Nick's comment sums it up. I would also add Crowbar to the list of bands that may indicate if you would like this record. |
