Crushing early Gaz-esque guitar tone and solos. Like Iommi and Bower, Gregg Anderson is a master of attack and sustain. Production values that sucker kidney punch ya then lock you up and pile-drive yer skull to the mat like some overweight 80's era WWF bad guy. Yeah, HEAVY. Lyrics a bit cheesy, but that kinda comes with the "Jolly Doom" territory. Soul sister vocals are a bit canned in places. Would have been more effective had they been sung live with Pete in the same room every track. That said, Pete sounds really good here. Overall a 3.5 outta 5 thus far. Rating will prolly go up with repeated listens. This one feels like a grower.

Yeah. This is a fucking great album. It improves with time....

This completely rules and might end up being my fave GS ever and that's saying something. Surprisingly great, IMO.

I was thoroughly unimpressed with this. The guitartone is cool and all that, and there's some decent riffs on there. But the songs are silly and the vocals terrible.

If you can't hear the overall killer awesome that is this album, then you have shit magnets for ears.
