Album Review

Aaron Randall advises his listeners to prepare for attack, but by then the battle has already commenced, as guitarists Jeff Waters and Goldberg roll out the usual power chords and the rhythm section of Wayne Darley and Mike Mangini piledrive every beat.

Annihilator's third release

New vocalist Aaron Randall took listeners by surprise with his softer approach to Annihilator vocals, but it works, especially on the soaring "Phoenix Rising" and "Sounds Good to Me." Featured on drums is legend Mike Mangini, who does not disappoint with his solide and precise backing to Jeff Waters' third offering. Waters' speed and picking brilliance are ever-present throughout the album, this being the album's strength along with its melodic approach to thrash. These melodies have made this probably the most controversial Annihilator album, and fans remain polarized about it to this day, but it is a worthy addition to any metal collection.

This is my first annihilator album, I like it alot. It's very well done with good variety of songs, not to mention excellent production. Brain Dance is so weird!?!, it's like Alice in Hell on silliness.

Very nice

This album is a must buy. When I saw the cost I nearly died. Get. This. ALBUM!
