While this entire album is completely enjoyable, there are, however, no real amazing stand out tracks to write home to Mom about. Songs like No Compromise act as an immediate attention getter as an opening track with some very fast speed, and Reasons For Destuction provide some kick ass breakdowns that are completely moshable. Every song on this album is worth listening to basically because every song maintains the same ingredients. A good thrash record is good because it runs on pure adrenaline and doesn't let go of you until the end of the album, this is the most important aspect of any good, fun thrash album!

Sure, theįloridian death scene swept the world in the end of the decade, and black metal took over like an infected oddity in the early 90's, but nothing shook the Thrash, the breadwinner of the 1980's underground, gained supremacy through superior aggression, superior musicianship, and superior speed.
