5.0 out of 5 stars great album but beware, March 14, 2007

By	Deimos "Rock Fan" (Alberta) - See all my reviews

don't buy this from seller ships_first_class_daily, it will take forever to reach you and if you give him a bad rating he will harass and threaten you to remove it. Great customer service indeed. Anyhow just a warning to watch out for horrible sellers buy from anyone but him, if you want to hear this great metal masterwork within the next 3 months.

Peace Keep it Heavy!

ships_first_class_daily = Poor service, and mental patients emailing you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just a thrash album!, January 28, 2004

By	praj (Australia) - See all my reviews

THE THRASH ALBUM! This album is the pinnacle of what all the mid to late eighties thrash bands were aiming at when trying to get more cerebral, more complex, more extreme.
Gene Hoglan (Death, Strapping Young Lad, etc) is the driving force, penning many of the lyrics and music (even playing a guitar solo) along with new guitarist for this release (Brett Eriksen). The lyrics are deep, intelligent, complex (get your thesaurus out!), and disturbing. The music matches. A sticker on the cover proclaimed "246 riffs" (haven't counted but I believe it!)...and they are all quality technical riffs (try playing a few!), not like the crap around today. Many of the songs are long and go through many changes, so you have to stick at it. Combine this with quality melodic as well as thrashy solos, melodic and barking vocals from Ron Reinhart, and the result is what I feel sums this album up. It's oppressive.
The production was handled by Terry Date of Pantera fame. He seemed to slow DA down a notch (well almost!), get a bit of a groove going, tighten up the noise and give the recording depth.
That said, maybe 4.5 stars is closer to the mark, there are a couple of sections that drag on a bit.
The highlight is probably the 9:16 minute long "An Ancient Inherited Shame", it is unrelenting high speed thrash with lyrics dealing with the emotional turmoil and psychology of rape...from a female perspective. Successfully. You can't help but applaud such an ambitious undertaking.
P.S. Did I mention the drumming??

5.0 out of 5 stars DARK ANGEL AT THE PEAK OF THEIR POWERS, August 9, 2002

By	Mr. Lee D. Whitehead "www.mmaweekly.com" (Milton Keynes, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Time Does Not Heal (Audio CD)

This was unfortunately the last Dark Angel album but fortunately my first - this was the album that started a long obsession with the band and Gene Hoglans drumming in particular - yes, he is that damn good! All Dark Angel albums are classic but this is their mature effort - warm production, fast, intense multilayered guitars with some of the most thought provoking lyrics ever to grace a CD - period! It has to be said that the album has no duffers but prize mentions go to Trauma & Catharsis, An Anchient Inherited Shame and my personal favourite Psychosexuality - check those Bass Drums at the end!

I nearly shed a tear when I found out about their demise and I nearly celebrated when the rumors were circulating in 2000 about a reunion! they will be sorely missed! BUY THIS ALBUM
