taking a much more technical & progressive approach to their song writing, death started the whole technical death metal style probably with this album. just look at the all star cast here. Paul Masvidal who later formed the critically acclaimed CYNIC, was in top form here, twisting his guitar to give progressive riffs n solos. Steve DiGiorgio with his fretless bass playing, Sean Reinert with his double bass assault & good ol Chuck better than ever. his guitar solos are extremely technical, complicated at times, & very fast. the fat bass seems to be everywhere. & Paul compliments chuck with excellent solos of his own.

this album speaks in volumes about human emotions & chuck and co let their music do the talking here.

though all the songs are considered classics now, 'Lack of Comprehension' is a total stand out track & even enjoyed good air play on mtv. yes mtv!

the music here though bone crushing, makes the listener tilt his head & listen to the music. really listen. classic stuff this

my rating
9/10
