4 1/2 stars. Death Angel should get together with King's X and headline the "cult metal bands that don't deserve to scrape the budget bins of your record store tour." I remember not liking this album as much as _Frolic Through The Park_ but revisiting it with a older, wiser and more open pair of ears I had to wonder what the hell my reservations were. Although its more refined than either of the other two DA albums, it boasts immaculate production, excellent and interesting songwriting and composing, mind-blowing musicianship. "Veil of Deception" and "A Room With a View" show a calmer, more textured side of what was essentially a really heavy thrash band. "Falling Asleep" is a great closer, and the mind-blowing hybrid funk-thrash of "Discontinued" is an insane example of an over-talented band just going balls out and laying the smack down.

* If you liked this album, BTW, you should hunt down both of the albums by "The Organization S.F." which are still in print on Metal Blade records. Same lineup here without the venerable Mark Oseguda, and sporting a more refined, melodic and funky attack than DA.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top of my chart!, May 1, 1999

This album is at the top of my chart next to "Master of Puppets" (Metallica), "Among the Living" (Anthrax), and "Rust in Peace" (Megadeth). What I like about this album (and Death Angel in general) is the diversity, energy, and virtuosity of the band! Mark's vocals, Rob and Gus' killer guitar work, Denis's (funky at times) base lines, and Andy Galeon awesome drumming blend very well on each of the songs creating a true master piece.

If you are into rock, heavy metal, punk, and thrash, don't miss this album!

-Aki

ps. All Death Angel fans, get ready for "SWARM"! (Mark, Rob, Andy, and their new base player Mike). I saw them perform last week and they were awesome! I almost had a heart attack when I heard them play the intro to the "Ultra-Violence" and the songs "Seemingly Endlees Time," "Veil of Deception," and "Stagnant" live... Their new stuff is also great! Spread the word!!! SWARM!

5.0 out of 5 stars What could have been, February 18, 2005

Death Angel was one of the casualties of the grunge movement. They had just been signed to Geffen for this CD & Geffen's priority of Nirvana resulted in the death of Death Angel. It was rumored that Geffen was looking to market Death Angel as "D.A.," which probably would have ended the same way. This album shows significant growth from stylistic tracks such as the acoustic "Veil Of Deception" and the hard and heavy tracks like "Seemingly Endless Time," and "Stop." This is a great example of what would have been the future of metal in the 1990s. If you enjoy this spend the money for the box set that has their first 2 CDs (Ultra-Violence & Frolic Through The Park) with bonus tracks and unreleased tracks. You won't be disappointed. The box was produced by Metallica's Kirk Hammett. Death Angel's 2004 release "Art Of Dying" is also recommended.
