5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, April 9, 2002

This is the 2nd Annihilator disc i bought behind "Criteria For A Black Widow", which is a bit heavier in my opinion. Every song on this album is very good, typical Annihilator-type metal sounds accompanied by axeman/vocalist/bassist Jeff Waters, who handles all instruments except for this drums on this record. Some of my favorite tracks off this record are "King of the Kill", "Annihilator", "Bad Child", and the superb ballad "Only Be Lonely". Let it be said that I'm not one for slow songs, but "Only Be Lonely" is simply fantastic, and hey, its ANNIHILATOR! So all fans of the band should embrace this album, and for people who are looking to get into this band, this isn't a bad album to start with.

ANNIHILATOR, or "Jeff Waters" as this CD should be called, did an awesome job with "King of the Kill". While nowhere near the early thrash-sound of old ANNIHILATOR, Waters remains true to his guitar playing abilities! The title track, "21" and "Bad Child" are my favorites, as his guitar is everywhere. I also like the bonus track, "Only Be Lonely" as it reminds me of when I was about to leave my family for a time (I'm military), and my daughter was crying when this song was playing. Very strong words, to be sure!

Anyway, DO GET this release. If you like solid guitar playing, you won't be throwing your money away.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some good, some great, October 19, 2000

I rated this album 4 stars. The reason for this is that about 2/3 of the album rates a solid 3 stars. However, there a several songs that rate an excellent 5 stars!! I am thinking of the box (a great song about how TV influences our lives), King of the Kill, Second to None (anti drugs) and Hell is a War. Very solid Metal songs with great built ups (The Box), great riffs (the Box, King of the Kill) and just overall honost metal sounds. Hope you will enjoy this album.
