Let's just say this...i've been a Lizzy fan since the "Give 'em the axe" era, i.e. i had it on vinyl. Now, of course, i'm not a psycho Lizzy fan like i used to be (i get on my "kicks" every now and then), but i always keep an eye on him, and was overly excited when "Devil" was put out (although i hated some of the mixes of the songs). This album is BY FAR the best album he's done since "Menace"(my personal fav), or "Visual Lies." If you ever were, or still are a Lizzy fan, BUY THIS ALBUM. Guitars are heavy, but melodic, dual solos at times, just like the old days-major shredding also. Double kick drums. Heavy, but not over the top. Also, it amazes me that Lizzy's voice STILL SOUNDS THE SAME !!!! Twenty years later and he's still kickin' a$$. Love ya brother. Keep the albums coming.

Lizzy's voice is as good as ever and most of the songs on this CD are really good. Obviously having different guitar players changes the sound and on most of the songs if not for the vocals you would not be able to tell it's Lizzy Borden (that's not necessarily bad, it's just different). Joey Scott's drumming is incredible throughout the album.

The main reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is unfortunately - in my opinion - the production is somewhat lacking. That's not Lizzy's fault, I'm sure the recording budget was a small fraction of what it was for Visual Lies or Master of Disguise.

For any fans of Lizzy or the genre, this is definitely a CD that is worth picking up. Lizzy is still one of the greatest metal vocalists ever.

I've been anxiously awaiting this follow up to Lizzy Borden's 'Deal With The Devil' CD, and I was very impressed with the entire concept of the songs for 'Appointment With Death'. All the songs are heavy and I love Lizzy's vocal range. It's a little different from his past recordings, but it still is definately Lizzy Borden. I noticed that he did some over sampling with some songs like he did with 'Master Of Disguise', but he keeps everything fresh.

Bottom line: If you're a Lizzy Borden fan, go and buy this CD. You'll like it. If you don't you'll be making an Appointment With Death.

I LOVE THIS ! IT HAS A GROUP OF TALENTED MUSICIANS PLAYING ON IT ! GEORGE LYNCH ( DOKKEN - LYNCH MOB ) PLAYS ON IT !!!! I HAD JUST SEEN THEM IN CONCERT - A REUNION SHOW ! , AND FOUND OUT THIS CD WAS ABOUT TO BE RELEASED ! I RECEIVED IT IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND IN TIMELY FASHION ! , THANKS, MIKE.

Lizzy's back and with a vengeance. The great thing is it's a return to the old 80's Lizzy writing style with an updated sound. If you liked Love You To Pieces and Deal With the Devil, you will love this cd - it marries the two. Buy it and be afraid!

Lizzy's back hard and heavy, true no BS metal all the way, amazing vocals!

I saw Lizzy Borden back in the 80's at a local bar and thought they great, but then lost touch with thier music. This CD is even better than what I remember from the 80's, and in fact I can't even remember thier radio song from back then. Love thier new persona's and love the music, it's great for those of us that still love those 80's hairbands from back in day. Keep cranking it out!!

very good c.d. from beginning to end and this CD is better than there older stuff. more heavier than usual . i would recommend it to any body .

Lizzy Borden sounds the same in the vocal department, but the guitars sound heavier. the production on this album is top-notch, compared with the 1980's albums. (I have one of the 1980's albums and the music sounds like it is coming from another room.)I still like Lizzy Borden though. on this album, big name stars collaborate with the band and make the album more awesome. this band is a legend of the long gone, but not forgotten 80's, so get this album before it is gone.

Apointment with Death is a great heavy metal album.
I have not listened to lizzy since visual lies.
I started reading reviews on this album and decided to give it a chance.
I'm glad I did.
All the way through it is classic. The vocals, guitars and drums all roar with great precision.
Great Album!
