Biography

Canadian thrashers Annihilator are the lifework of guitarist Jeff Waters, who founded the band in his native Vancouver in 1984 -- just as the speed metal revolution was getting underway further to the south in the San Francisco Bay Area. Due in large part to this geographical isolation, Annihilator as a band phased in and out of existence over the next few years, with only Waters as a constant… Read more in Amazon's Annihilator Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Annihilator is back!, September 21, 2000
I'm a big speed/thrash fan from the 80s, and somehow I missed Annihilator the first time around. But I recently picked up a used copy of "Alice In Hell," which is a thrash classic. So when I finally got a copy of "Criteria," I pretty much knew what to expect. But I was wrong! If anything, "Criteria" is better than "Alice." This album provides plenty of good, old-fashioned, straight-ahead thrash, with plenty of musical diversity. Practically all of the songs are good, and none of them sound alike.

In my opinion, this album competes with Destruction's "All Hell Breaks Loose" as Y2K's best thrash album of the year. It's great to see speed/thrash make such a strong comeback, with bands like Testament, Annihilator, Destruction, and Sodom still going strong and continuing to release some of their best material. If you're a fan of Annihilator, other bands worth checking out include Forbidden and Vio-lence.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must listen for those who love killer Riffs., February 24, 2000
By jekel (Pensacola Fl.) - See all my reviews
This cut is without a doubt the most intensive guitar attack I have heard in many years. I have followed Jeff Waters & the band since Alice in Hell, I have never been let down. If you love Crunch Riffs, and a complete metal package, played with some talent and attitude, this cd, as well as the earlier cd's, are absolutely a must! ENJOY!

I agree with the 5-star reviews except for the vocals. This CD would be perfect if it weren't for the weird-sounding voice. It's also bad in other Annihilator albums too. Read more
