A wicked-fast metal album with a careful sense of balance: fast and tight without being showy, melodic without losing its edge, heavy but not oppressive, balancing longterm headbobbery against start-stop swerves, complex without getting proggy, well-produced without being overproduced: a good, solid metal album.
Beyond that I recuse myself, not knowing enough about metal's lineage to know where this falls.
Decidedly useful as heavyfuckinmusic, more likely to pump me up to work really hard than rip someone's actual head off. Which is probably backhanded at best as metal goes, but where I come from that's actually probably a good thing 3.5/5
