5.0 out of 5 stars good british thrash, March 10, 2007

By	J. Alfonso Ruiz Morales (Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If somebody had told me that this was a bay area thrash band of the U.S.A then i might have believed him. Of course this is thrash, a little crunchy but not too fast. This album was released in 1990, this was an English thrash band that could fit without problems in the bay area category, this happened in the last stage of the thrash metal bum, of course there were uncountable bands playing this style so that it was pratically impossible to sound unique or original therefore the sound in this album is very familiar but i believe that they were not cloning any band of the era. They might sound a little like "Steve Esquivel" and his band "Defiance" in the album "Terra Firma" but just a little. I do not know why but i find this xentrix album more enjoyable than "Terra Firma". I really enjoy this album and it never gets me bored, i think of it very often and feel the need to play it. If you like/love eighties thrash then you may like this album as well. If you are a thrash completist maybe this would fit into your collection. Unfortunately i have never heard any other xentrix album, but i will buy them all as soon as i can.

2.0 out of 5 stars Metalliclones, January 19, 2006

By	iMetalG5 - See all my reviews

I have this tape from back in the day. UK Thrash they say. I say total Metallica rip off band. I'm sorry but these guys never stood out. I found this tape the other day and popped it into a tape player (who has one nowadays!?) and it brought back memories of when i was a kid. but it also brought back mems of how i didn't like this band very much. Some of the riffs are waaaay to close to Metallica. You can pass on this rare item as it offers nothing special.
