Reviews4 stars out of 5 - "...Reaffirms their status as the pre-eminent metal band of the modern era....They broke with the conventions of thrash metal to record the genre's first power ballad in 'Fade To Black'...", "The songs here display the firepower, dexterity and drive to innovate that prevailed before 'Enter Sandman' introduced a more broad-strokes variety of bombast.", "The album included melody, maturity and musical intelligence. It was these traits which helped them broaden metal's scope..."
