Given the fact Pantera is one of the most popular metal bands extremely heightens my expectations for their albums when i listen to them. This is the only album worth listening to in my opinion. This is a hardhitting, brutal, angry, groovy, metal album. With popular tracks throughout the album (ex: Mouth for War, Respect, This Love, and many others). Anyone, who hears one of the songs on this album, probably has heard it before. The other albums by Pantera, to me, were to wimpy, pussy music. This album is just loud and ballsy enough for anyone. Even if you hate Pantera. The fact that everything Pantera has put out besides this doesn't effect the quality of the album. Overall Rating: 8/10

People are stupid. They do not know real screamo. People think screamo is: Underoath, Silverstein, and The Used (For Your Information people this is emocore). People think that wussy garbage is like screamo, they're wrong! Screamo is practically dead with not many bands still alive playing it (Tunes for Bears to Dance to, You Be the Hawk, (members of saetia also later formed) Hot Cross, (early) As Cities Burn, and MeWithoutYou....to name a few). This is one of the earlier screamo bands from the mid-late 90's, which was closer to the end of the emotive and screamo era. This band is a stereotypical screamo band. Coming in with screams and harmonizing guitars. It evolved from a fusion of emotive (emo {not the emo most people know today}) and Hardcore. They have bashing anger in many songs which lead into light breakdowns, and extremely poetic lyrics. Only lasting 2 years and a couple months, this band put out some amazing material which was all released on a compilation, besides their last release "Eronel". This band is probably one of my favorites. I've known them for 3 years and have been accustomed to listening to this album alot. Overall Rating: 100/10

Very good christian death metal with alot of controversy tied to their band. The cover is of a church in the Czech Republic, which had some of Jesus' ashes spread on the land in the graveyard. So many people flocked to be buried their that they hired a a man to construct things (such as a chandelier) entirely out of bones, using every single bone on every sculpture he created. The other controversy is the title "Humping the Dead". The title even escapes me, i don't know what they were thinking, but the song was great anyway. Definitely recommended to be bought by all christian metal-heads all over. Don't worry, they're even reissuing it soon with bonus tracks suspectedly. (I wish i waited so i could get the 2nd reissue instead of the first) Overall Rating: 10/10
