4.0 out of 5 stars This album kills!, July 10, 2004

I finally got a copy of this rare classic the other day and I can't say I was disappointed! Nothin' here but great riffs to go with matching lyrics that help create some of the most killer and memorable songs in metal history. "Undead" is my personal favorite, alongside "Humanoid", and I strongly advise anyone who hasn't heard it yet to get this album someway, somehow and make your ears bleeeed!

These three crazy mutha f'ers brought metal a new edge with their insane drummer Barry "THe f'in Animal" Speilberg on the skins, master guitarist and Barry's big bro, Richard Spielberg with his furious leads and the crunchiest crunchin your ears will ever hear. He also shows off his talent on a beautiful classical cover of "Le Cou Cou" along with legendary singer, song writer, and second best only to the late great Clifford Burton (R.I.P. Cliff!!!!!!!) Bob Mayo(naise!-just kiddin' Bob, I know you hate that!) on the big bad bass. Bob's vocals are like a cross between Algy Ward of Tank and Tom Araya possessed by the devil. Their final album Suicide Notes will also make the hair on the back of your head stand at attention. Huge in Europe, especially Germany, only to be screwed over by their label back in the USA. Rest in peace 'GASM!!! EVERY METALHEAD SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST FIVE COPIES OF THIS ON TAPE AND CD HIDDEN AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS SO YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE ONE IN YOUR POSSESSION!!!!!!!!!!!If you can find it, buy it.

A dang shame these boys didn't get the financial breaks other less talented bands have. The song Wargasm is in my opinion one of the greatest metal songs of all time. The tightness of this band is rivaled only by metallica's older classic music. Lyrics are great and the music is just incredible. Metal with a quality that makes this band easy to listen to. All Wargasm cd's are masterpieces. They are one of the most talented 3 peice bands ever. The wall of sound that they produce is stunning. Vocals fit perfect.
