I found the guys’ first three efforts in the late-90’s, when they were already a foregone conclusion, but I listened to them religiously for a number of weeks, being absolutely certain that I’d been graced by the greatest lesser known thrash metal act. The other moment that’s always pained me, just a bit mind you, is that I was a very late passenger on this train. Sometimes.īut we’ll get back to these defects later, although those who are familiar with the band’s repertoire and with this album in particular already know what I allude to. I’ve always been an enthusiastic albeit moderate advocate for artistic audacity, but when this audacity starts contaminating the kitchens from where I most regularly satiate my music hunger, I catch myself becoming agitated, and sometimes plain resentful. I know fans who would give it said score based on those two defects alone, but I’m not one of those. And that’s the reason why I’ll put it aside for a while, I listen to it every other week, and will forget about its existence I know it pretty much by heart… I simply don't want it to go away with the perfect score that I’ve been pondering on granting it for quite some time. The more I listen to this album, the more I try to close my ears for the two small defects that have been detected from the first moment it graced my household.
