Annihilator have seemed dead in the water for years now, having gone from the classic 1989 album "never, neverland" to decent but uninspiring 90's fare which saw mainman Jeff Waters pretty much doing everything by himself.
This album is something of a come back for Annihilator then, now signed to nuclear blast and enjoying the renewed attention that is being given to thrash bands of their era such as Exodus and Death Angel. And for the most part, it delivers.
Album opener is "all for you" is easily one of the best songs they've ever recorded, combining a light and shade vocal style with a killer riff and one of the best breakdowns i've ever heard, a wonderful, melodic piece of chordal genius, which is the last thing you expect to hear during the song. Potentially a huge single.
"dr psycho" and "both of me" are solid examples of the technical metal annihilator are famous for, but suffer slightly from the stupid "comedy" spoken sections which litter and ultimately let down the album. Unfortunately, these arent the worst areas the album has to offer either. There are two terrible ballads present here, which are so bad they threaten to spoil everything else, and "demon dance" which is a fine metal track untill its weird Pet Shop Boys style chorus kicks in.
Fortunately, the album is saved by brutal tracks like "bled" and "rage absolute" which remind us why annihilator have attained such legendary status in the metal world, and the closing salvo of "the nightmare factory" and "the sound of horror" which sound as sinister and evil as their titles suggest, and deliver quality riffs by the shedload.
All in all then, despite the grumbles mentioned above, this is a fantastic album and an excellent (if slightly flawed) comeback form one of thrash metals best bands.

This is an Interesting album from a band that traditionally does thrash metal
It has a new vocalist who does very melodic vocals and can roar too and this shows through in the music.
alot of great vocals in the album and some very ballady type parts in songs like the beginning of Both OF Me is actually very nice and then it changes in to a crazy thrashy song with whispered vocals and WEEEEEEE solo in it
it is a great album with plenty of interesting and catchy songs in it I particularly like the bass driven style of annhilator that is even more noticeing on this album as the first song starts off with just bass.
some great songs great artwork Great band that is highly underrated and has an undeserved problematic history
beats metallica by a million miles.
Great band they like to have a bit of comedy in some of the songs too which I quite like
Best song is possibly All For You
for fans of more modern sounding metal I think maybe like five finger death punch or maybe shadows fall
but the guitars on this album are very dirty sounding not quite so clear.
but still good
