5.0 out of 5 stars
Speedy delivery, September 28, 2003
Pro-pain is an incredibly consistent band. Call it hardcore/metal/thrash, I mean... What else could you call it? Jokes aside, this chugging hardcore masterpiece slams me up against the wall each and every time I give it a spin. Hey, my main point here is if you like Pro-Pain at all this will not disappoint. Sonically akin to "Round 6", and I may be wrong but I'm feeling a lot more energy coming through on this one. Oh and "Shreds Of Dignity" is about equal musically, but Lyrically this one gets the point across very well. Sure we got the super hits "Stand Tall" and "In For The Kill" but oh my (act of) god it only gets better from that point on. "I Remain", "Act of God", "All Fall Down", "Time Will Tell", "On Parade"... It just keeps getting better and better. 40 minutes of non-stop thrashing hardcore metal. It doesn't get much better than this. Then again Pro-pain did just come out with a covers CD...

They just keep getting better and better, April 12, 1999
By A Customer
It seems like Pro-Pain is getting better and better with every album. I own every album, and this one is my favorite so far. Gary (vocals) sounds stronger than ever, guitars are tight, drum tracks are fenominal. Eversince Pro-Pain started recording and producing their own albums (starting with Contents Under Pressure), the result is always great.
As far as people saying that "all songs sound the same", well, you're in the wrong kind of music. Yes, the songs do sound alike, but as long as they all sound good, that's all I care about. This kind of music isn't about bustin' out 5 minute wah-wah guitar solos, it's about making heavy, tight, in-your-face kind of songs.
Pro-Pain is also my favorite band to see live. If you haven't yet, go check them out - you won't regret it (if you like heavy music).

A fine hard-core album, August 27, 1999
I'll be straight forward: this is a great album--much better than "Pro-Pain"(this is still good)-but still not as good as "The Truth Hurts". "Truth" is an excellent album. Nevertheless, "Act of God" is far better than any current radio offering or so-called heavy metal that is out on the shelves these days.
