Ever the contrarian, Mike came up with Amarok. One, hour-long track, split up into little nuggets of weirdness. There's barely a movem..."  [+]  Reply

Several songs have asian themes, good sound. Best song is "Rain street" 95/100, the only song I've already k..."  [+]  Reply

"Can't believe this album is ranked below Sound of White Noise or as low as it is overall. This is a very tight, powerful album and probably the most mature Anthrax album considering most of their early albums had an element of piss-taking and lads just having a thrashing good time."  Reply

"Despite containing the instant Fall classic Bill Is Dead, this album took quite a while to stand out for me. Sing Harpy kicks things off in a promising fashion, soon after we have the aforementioned Bill Is Dead with MES actually singing!
