Well, this is a rather uneventful thrash disc. Overall, it reminds me a lot of Slayer, circa Seasons in the Abyss and earlier. The guitar riffs, the majority of the vocals, and even some of the vocal phrasing are direct rip-offs from Slayer. The guitar solos are thankfully not in the King/Hanneman style, but they're not good either -- they're overly bluesy, pointless, and sloppy at times. In addition to the seven Slayer-influenced songs, there are three others. One is a cover of Faith No More's "Surprise, You're Dead", which is actually kinda cool. Then there are "Sweet Dreams 1", a piano instrumental, and "Sweet Dreams 2", which is a nine minute long country/rock tune. WTF were they thinking? Anyway, you don't need this.
