This is one of those CDs that you don't really get into right away. It took me awhile before I realized the greatness of it. The Master Sleeps is an awesome song. Really, all the songs are just awesome with great lyrics too. There's actually a song about people who sign up to volunteer for medical/medication experiments. It's almost comical, but in a good way. Burned device is another awesome song, October Thorns is another cool song. The lyrics as well as the music really are great on this CD. Also on this CD, you have 'Suffer the Masses" . In my opinion, that has to be in the top 3 of heavy metal/thrash metal/power metal songs of ALL time. The riff they made for that song is just so heavy and powerful. This is one CD I wish would be remastered so it could sound perfect! This is a great CD from a band that I wished more people would have had exposure too.

This was kind of a momemtum killer CD from a good band that was doing a good thing prior to this release. After the succuss of Doomsday - F&J lost their main man in bassist Jason Newstead BUT carried on with a very strong release in No Place For Disgrace. They proved that the loss of Newstead wasn't going to hold them back and had some good momentum going. Then they released this. It's not a bad disc ... it's just not very good either. It does have it's ups but also it downs.
The band still carried on and has some strong releases after this one, this one just kind of killed their momentum for awhile.

This was a very directionless album put out by a band who put out some of the greatest albums of the power metal era. I'd much prefer "Drift", "Doomsday", or "Cuatro" compared to this poorly produced mindless slab of metal sludge. The only high points on this were "Suffer the Masses" and "The Master Sleeps", outside of that, songs like "Scars" sounded like they were recorded across telephone lines rather than a good studio.
