5.0 out of 5 stars Exodus scores again, November 28, 2007

By

This review is from: The Atrocity Exhibition: Exhibit A (Audio CD)

Since 1999, we've had a sort of resurgence in classic thrash metal bands like Overkill, Kreator, Testament, and many others. Over the past few years, we've seen the release of monumental albums such as Exodus' "Tempo Of The Damned" & "Shovel Headed Kill Machine," Kreator's "Enemy Of God," Overkill's triple decker "Killbox 13, "Relix IV," & "Immortalis," Slayer's "Christ Illusion," and Megadeth's "United Abominatons." Need I go on? To add insult to injury, Exodus has delivered another thrash metal classic....not once, but twice. Think Tempo & Shovel times 100, and then some. Once again, Andy Sneap's production and mixing abilities are put on full display. I can't stress it enough, everything is very audible: the bass, guitars, and drums. Warning: you may become more susceptible to ears bleeding. Need I mention Tom Hunting is back behind the kit? While Paul Bostaph annihilated on Shovel, Tom has surprisingly managed to make his return very apparent on this album. Now, if you were paying attention, you might have noticed I pointed out that Exodus has delivered not once, but twice. In case you don't know what that means, Exodus has planned on two albums, this one being the first of the two: Exhibit A. Exhibit B will be out in 2008. If this album is any indication, fans will have plenty to bang their heads to.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thrash metal lives!, October 23, 2007

I'll keep this review short but sweet.

If you liked Tempo of the Damned and especially Shovel Headed Kill Machine, you'll like this new one quite a bit. It doesn't so much deviate from what Exodus was doing on those last 2 albums as it builds on them. The brutality is cranked up even more and this is most evident in the guitar tones which are brutal, razor sharp and just plain mean! Listen to this one cranked on headphones to hear what I'm talking about. The rhythm section just pummels along taking no prisoners. Vocals are very aggressive while still managing to be melodic. Andy Sneap's production is crystal clear as it was on the last 2 albums as well.

Thrash metal is my favorite type of metal and hardly anybody does it right anymore. Exodus is the exception to that rule and hopefully the new Testament CD will along with this one show all of these pointless and pathetic scream-o metal bands how the big boys do it!

BTW, I should mention that there is some kind of weird pressing error or something right when track one ends and track 2 begins. Instead of going straight from one into another which sounds like that was what was intended, there is about a half second gap of silence. I checked out 2 other copies and they were all the same way so don't think you've got a defective copy. It's annoying and I'm not sure if they intended for it to be like that but oh well.

5.0 out of 5 stars BONDED BY BANJO...., May 27, 2010

By 

Bumpy "Godzillason" (Virginia Beach, Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Atrocity Exhibition: Exhibit A (Audio CD)

Ok, I know I'm gonna get ripped on for doing this, but I trimmed Bedlam 1-2-3 down to it's original time, cut the dead air out, and made Bonded by Banjo a separate track by adding the six second bonus track at the end. When I'm listening to this on my Ipod while driving, that dead space puts me to sleep, so I HAD to do it that way. With that said, this album melts my face off, and after that is done, it turns my bones into dust. Love Children Of A Worthless God the most off this cd (next to Bonded By Banjo of course!) All the songs off this album are good, and are 5 star songs, but something about Children Of A Worthless God gets stuck in my head more while I'm working, sleeping, eating, or doing whatever....
