5.0 out of 5 stars Ear Splitting Masterpiece, January 23, 2001

By	Chad (Erie Pa) - See all my reviews

For any fan of fast heavy and hard music, this album is a must own. The boys from D.R.I. are back and they mean business on this one. The album features a new drummer which made me hesitate at first, but when I heard the first few bars of the first song, I knew it was gonna rock. D.R.I. has yet to put out an album of any less then superb quality so this one getting a five star rating is typical of all their music. These guys just keep crankin' it out year after year, they never get soft. Enjoy!!

By	Absolute Power (U.S.) - See all my reviews

This is pure thrash,I love D.R.I.,they are very original.They were the first ever band to do a blast beat on there first album in 83'.Definition is a great album,Acid Rain is a perfect song to start the album.They have there punk style to them like there lyrics,the lyrics rule,they always do!Guilt Trip is great,
Paying To Play is awesome, all the songs rule.The Target,one of the best songs on the album.Here are some lyrics to some songs,
Dry Heaves-
I was drinking beer
Then I was drinking Jagar
I know I shouldn't mix the two
I always pay later.
Acid Rain-
Will our children look back
With hatred or despair
At a generation of idiots
Who just didn't care.
D.R.I. stands for Dirty Rotten Imbeciles.
If you like original thrash bands, pick this album up.

4.0 out of 5 stars not their best but very good...., July 22, 2008

By	modernman (Royal Oak, MI) - See all my reviews

This is D.R.I.'s 6th album that came out in 1992. This record tends to go more towards the thrash metal side and less hardcore punk than their previous "Thrash Zone" LP. Kurt Brecht continues to write social political lyrics as he has in the past with topics ranging from environmental issues to the days when the band was just starting out. D.R.I. tends to draw both punk and metal enthusiasts....I would say if you are strictly into hardcore punk than this record may not be for you. However, if you're a punk with an open mind than give it a shot.
