4.0 out of 5 stars Great Heavy Metal album!, February 28, 2003

I would rate this 4 1/2 stars actually. If you have a thing for pure, untainted heavy metal that hasn't lost it's rock & roll edge, then you must check this album out. This isn't just another Sabbath inspired stoner band, these guys are brilliant and their songwriting and musicianship prove it. The Black Sabbath influence is everywhere, but Abdullah aren't afraid to throw in some early 80's metal influence and psychadellic elements (reminding me of Blue Cheer). So what we've got here is steroid pumped bluesy, dark and HEAVY rock n roll. If you love bands like Pentagram, The Obsessed, Pagan Altar, Diamond Head, Angelwitch, Judas Priest, Danzig, Solitude Aeturnus, St. Vitus, and newer bands like Place Of Skulls, and Spirit Caravan, you will drool over this cd. The only problem is, what's with the speed metal song at the end of the cd with the processed vocals? It definitely didn't fit on this album. But that's only one song out of 14 and every other one is a winner.

Great song writing and musicianship. As a lover of the "stoner/doom/sludge/metal...blah blah" genre's I can safely say that I've heard my share of hits and definitely misses. The lyrics are coherrent and so you can hear the intelligence and emotion expressed within them, plus the musicianship is killer.The lyrics are dark and morbid, not to the level of Acid Bath, but pretty dark and morose.I agree with the other reveiwer who was giving it 4.5 stars,check it out...especially for the pathetically low price here on Amazon it's worth the risk (although it won't be a risk because it's solid).
