4.0 out of 5 stars One Of The Easiest Exodus Albums To Get Into With A Killer Title Track., July 24, 2006

By	Dave (Melbourne,Vic,Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Impact Is Imminent (Audio CD)

OK, firstly i don't know why this album gets such a bad wrap, particularly by outsiders & supposed music critics who have no idea what they are talking about. To illustrate my point, if you go to the allmusic site, you'll see that the reviewer says that it was a rushed album that was carelessly thrown together with painfully silly lyrics that sound like they were only an after thought. Well it sounds pretty damn awesome to me for rush job. Geez i wish every band could still pull off a rush job like this one nowadays, if it is in fact a rush job. And how could you not like lyrics like "we never knew we left the ground, like a warhead targetbound". If you're looking for depth then go read some philosophy books, this is a straight ahead thrash album, lyrical depth is not a requirement. What's more is they go on to say that it's just endless riff upon endless riff. Ahhh yeah, and..... isn't that the general idea. The riffs in this album are catchy stomp riffs & really keep you interested. I hate albums full of songs with boring riffs that don't grab or hold your interest or songs that only have a good riff halfway into the song that lasts about 10 seconds & then the song reverts back after the riff ends. The vocals sound just right & just like they have since Pleasures Of The Flesh. The guitar sound is perfect & how i like it to sound, not too low & bassy like that crap modern day metal guitar sound, but still heavy with plenty of crunch. The production is not perfect, but reasonably good. In fact i couldn't really say a bad thing about this album. I personally found this to be the easiest Exodus album to get into, along with Pleasures Of The Flesh & i immediatly found myself liking this album from the word go. In my opinion the stand out tracks on this album are Impact Is Imminent & Thrash Under Pressure. As another reviewer on here stated, this is one of the last "true" speed/thrash albums. I happen to think 1989 to 1991 were some good years for thrash even though it wasn't particularly the eye of the storm so to speak & thrash was dying at this point. Unfortunatly this album is currently out of print, but if you could get your hands on it & chose not to buy it, you seriously have rocks in your head if you consider yourself a serious thrash lover & Exodus fan. Highly recommended, buy or die.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brutal, July 17, 2004

By	"finktank" (Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Impact Is Imminent (Audio CD)

This album has got to go down in history as real metal way ahead of its time.The riffs are catchy & ultimately heavy. Gary Holt is a musical genius and deserves greater recognition for all his accomplishments. This is a brilliant follow up to Fabulous and is definatley "huge" must if you like Exodus.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best thrash bands EVER!!, October 10, 2003

By	Keith Womack "the.killswitch.stream" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Impact Is Imminent (Audio CD)

While Exodus has a ton of great material, this one is my favorites. It has a great sound and the riffage on this is just outstanding. The H Team truly were the best players in the game during the 80's and 90's and this disc really shows. John Tempesta is on drums for this disc and he really bumps them up a level regarding tightness and rhythm as he is a master of the double kick. If you're going to buy any Exodus CS I would seriously recommend this one because it stands the test of time in it's originality, harshness and shredding, but is easily accessible to those who may not have truly felt the MOSH yet.
