90.22* Took a long time for this album to gel with me. Listened to it a bit when I first got it, didn't overly hit a cord with me, so it sat gathering dust. Ten years later, pulled it out. Now it's one of my all time favorite. Something must've clicked. 'Three Days' being the highlight but all songs following it are just serene joy. My, how one's tastes can obviously change. A masterpiece of the Alternative genre. 05/25

89.44 Megadeth's magnum opus. Easily the best album they've put out. One thing I'm adverse to with Megadeth is Dave Mustaine's voice. I honestly don't think he can sing for shit. But with this album it all comes together and he pulls it off well. 01/24

86.81 A slightly darker heavier tone than the albums before it. One of the better albums from them. There was a long gap between losing my vinyl and replacing it with the CD. Way better than I remembered it to be. Love it. Fucking love it. 05/24

84.44 I get such joy out of this. If you like the Dead Kennedy's and Ministry, there's no way you wont love this. Excellent combination with most songs being superb.

83.18 This is one of those sleeper albums. Doesn't instantly whack you round the head with it's brilliance, more so just simmers away within. Without a doubt Glenn Danzig sounds like Jim Morrison. Hence this album sounds like what would come if Jim Morrison fronted a band that dabbled in a mixture of classic metal, goth metal & bluesy metal. Overall top notch right through.

80.905* The commercial singles on this are instantly recognizable, but it's the other tracks that give this the credibility of whether or not it's a decent album. And a decent album it definitely is, being stacked with Rocking Bluesy tracks with a Stones swagger about them. Great album with no weak spots. Jolly good 05/26

77.00 Decent metal. Good mix and blend of thrash and classic. Pity the production wasn't a tad better as overall it gives some of the albums put out by the Big 4 a run for their money 03/24

77.00 This highlights what an amazing voice she has. Good mix of tempo on the different tracks. Good variety as well. Love the string & orchestral arrangements. Better songs in the front half. Tails off near the back. 11/22

76.166* Recent reassessment of this album. First 4 songs are shit hot so all's looking like it's going to be a classic album. But then it seemed like the ideas and song writing creativity had dried up. Still a reliable rhythm section, but the lyrics are dismal and the vocals aren't to great at all. 09/26

73.75 Hardcore punk's always hit or miss. This does straddle the midway. Nothing spectacular but I have heard much worse. They needed a couple more tracks like 'Moonshine Song' scattered throughout to break up constant same tempo. 11/22
