Annihilator plays it straight, with songs like Ambush and Nowhere To Go providing a missing link between old-school values and contemporary crunch, while the blistering lead breaks make it plain that Annihilator are after the shredder vote too.
I'm getting kinda sick of writing pretty much the same review for every Padden era Annihilator album, but they pretty much genuinely are all just the same, even if I do think they are getting marginally better with every release. This is the first Padden album where I can actually take the whole thing seriously all the way through, and it's generally the strongest performance Padden has given as well, even if he is still the least interesting vocalist this band has had.

Not bad, but still missing a little bit of bite. The Van Halen cover at the end is pretty cool, though.
