I am impressed with the music on this CD. The late eighties were a great time for speed-thrash-heavy-metal bands. EXODUS is a prime example of the best on this CD. Gary Holt and Rick Hunolt contain the mayhem with tight intonation and lockstep harmonizing. I think that Steve Souza's vocal treatments work well partly, because of his staccato enunciation. My favourite cut is VERBAL RAZORS. The breakneck pace is somehow held together, even through the explosive exchange of guitar solos. The unabashed aggression of the lyrics of TOXIC WALTZ, CAJUN HELL and OPEN SEASON can be unsettling, however, I take heart in the anti-violence of LIKE FATHER LIKE SON and the political sensitivities of LAST ACT..., FABULOUS DISASTER, and CORRUPTION. New paradigms are legitimized by testing them against existing systems. EXODUS proves that speed-metal is viable with superb covers of LOW RIDER (WAR) and OVERDOSE (AC/DC). Both of these songs are not only covered well, they are given a new personality. If you are interested in aggressive speed metal from the late eighties, this CD will interest you.Read full review

I am now recommending that the ebay ... especially to buy the best music .... FABULOUS DISASTER
While many people focus on "Bonded By Blood" when it comes to Exodus, this album is simply brilliant. Catchy songwriting, top-notch musicianship and sarcastic real-life lyrics. Steve Souza is a worthy replacement for Paul Baloff without doubt; and the rest f the band really need no introduction, the music is really really good, with tons of great riffs and mind-boggling solos to spare. Plus the AC/DC cover is well done and keeps that raw rock n' roll attitude, a very difficult task when aproaching a song like this. An indispensable album in any serious Metal collection. Get it now!!
Exodus at their finest excellent thrash metal album
