Completely agreed, it's just an amazing album. Ironbound was better, but this one doesn't disappoint nothing at all.

I gave it a listen this morning and the album was passable but like a 30+ year marriage there wasn't a single surprise.

This could descend into some serious fantasy online slash with Overkill members...

Okay, just like Ironbound was okay. Nothing special though. But then again the only two more than okayish Overkill albums are their first two.
If there ever was an overrated thrash band Overkill is it. Secon tier from the start with a weak voclist, although very charismatic.

Honestly this gets better every time I push play, seriously engaging Thrash. Overkill I've always relied upon for some decent material in the genre, they're far more dependable than any other Thrash band nowadays in my opinion. This is getting dangerously close to topping Ironbound. Nice review also, this album is quite different to the previous one which is great I think, they didn't stick with what worked so well with Ironbound and instead tried a different avenue.

My version:
If there ever was an underrated thrash band Overkill is it. First tier from the start with a vocalist better than 90% of thrash vocalists.

I stand by my words, second tier and a weak vocalist.
And totally not underrated seeing the praise they get almost everywhere.

Now they aren't underrated, I agree. But they were in the 80's and 90's.

Not even then, trust me. everyone knew them in the second half of the Eghties and early Nineties.

Holy inflated score, Batman!
Better than all of the watered down revivalist stuff going around, but I think on its own it doesn't really deserve much attention. By comparison to the contemporary thrash scene, however, I think the score is accurate.
Still not as strong as Ironbound, and definitely not as strong as their first few releases.

Not more inflated than some people's egos to be honest. Besides, the album is excellent IN MY OPINION, so the score is accurate IN MY OPINION.
IN MY OPINION, people pay too much attention to scores anyway. That's MY OPINION anyway.

Did you intend to say Warbringer or is there some cult thrash resurgence group of that name?

No I meant the black metal band Nigtbringer which some staffer goes all bezerk over

Sounds like something I would like. As soon as I cease being poor I will pick this one up. Ironbound was pretty good.
Although, I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss Toxic Holocaust/Warbringer/Vektor's work, regardless of if they are "thrash babies" (I'm assuming that referred to the fact they haven't been around too long), their recent outputs have banged waaaaay harder than a lot of Overkill's material.

I'm assuming that's regarding me? I don't go berserk over them but I do enjoy their music for sure. I wouldn't even give either of their releases a 9.

I didn't assume mine, but like... anyone's. I dunno, it just seemed like a really weird response. Unless it was just kind of a backhand humorous comment.

Agree that Ironbound is better, but this is still a lot of fun. Been throwing on Electric Rattlesnake like five + times a day since I got this.

If this album is better, best or near to Ironbound is inanity at this moment but I think this album has its own uniqueness towards thrash. Definitely, one of the second best releases after Asphyx's Deathhammer.
