hello metallians, by the way before i start to review this album take note that execution garunteed was in no way a let down,as it was one of the best power thrash albums to ever come out, the review above says that execution was a huge letdown but countless metallians the world over dissagree and say that execution garunteed remains one of the best metal albums of all time, people check it out, any way this was the 3rd attempt by rage and was very fresh and unique, here they took a more mellodic and progressive approach all the while still staying true to their power metal roots, they in no way wimped out on this release, hell they have never wimped out period. i do not know why dont fear the winter became the most popular rage song because there are alot of songs by rage that kill that song, dont get me wrong i like that song but it is not their best to me. there are plenty of killer rockers and anthems on this album. of course drummer extraordinar jorg michael left rage after execution and that was a shame but the drummer who replaced him was pretty darn good as well. but the new guitarist manni schmidt was just what peavy needed, manni is a killer guitarist and you can hear that on this album. like i said before if you love metal and i mean real metal then you can not go wrong with any of rages great albums and if any thing is a let down it is some of these other reviews. your friend in metal brandon whitson 25 of north carolina

Rage are one of those bands that seem to produce one of two reactions, either great loyalty or total apathy. My personal take is that both views are understandable.

With this album - one of their earlier efforts - the latter is my viewpoint. The songs belt along and are quite well played. The vox are an acquired taste but certainly no worse than many other bands have, and they are at least mixed above the music, some of the early thrash bands not being able to afford decent production values and falling into a vocal no mans land.

With this album Rage started to gain some momentum, the guitar playing is biting, the intent clear - these guys want to level the room. The snag is that the songs tend to wash over the listener without really grabbing hold.

Of this bands early output - I'd have to recommend prospective buys skip this disc and instead buy Secrets in a Weird World instead as the songs on that disc have more connectivity with the audience and a slightly more human feel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rage's first big hit and still one of their best., May 6, 2004

Perfect Man is probably most famous for introducing the European metal scene to Rage's most famous song "Don't Fear the Winter". But, there's a lot more to this album than just that one anthem. Perfect Man remains one of Rage's most unique and well written albums. From the goofy prog-metal style "Supersonic Hydromatic" to the more epic metal of "A Pilgrim's Path" and the Motorhead sound alike "Round Trip" this is a true masterpiece of Metal. This particular version of the album is worth even greater attention because it contains some extra live tracks from Rage's two Noise era live albums "Power of Metal" and "Beyond the Wall". A must buy!
