专辑介绍

by Ed Rivadavia

After years struggling for recognition while watching their peers achieve fame and fortune, Bay Area mainstays Exodus had every reason to be dejected when they re-grouped in 1989 to record their third album Fabulous Disaster. Still, they went on to create their most diverse and carefully conceived effort yet, while remaining faithful to their no-frills thrash ethic. But while the album represented the realization of their vision, as well as their commercial peak, it still failed to gain them their well-deserved place alongside such thrash metal giants as Metallica, Anthrax and Slayer. After a random spoken word intro, opener &The Last Act of Defiance& quickly sets the frenzied pace, taken a step further by the title track's highly amusing apocalyptic vision. Both songs also showcase the amazingly fast feet and incomparable fills of Tom Hunting -- the only human capable of challenging Slayer's Dave Lombardo for bragging rights as thrash metal's greatest drummer. Up next, &The Toxic Waltz& provides a fresh take on the band's mosh classic &A Lesson in Violence,& and the more complex &Cajun Hell& also succeeds despite its silly lyrics. Significantly more intelligent, the eight-minute epic &Like Father, Like Son& is another show of maturity, and other highlights like &Corruption& and &Verbal Razors& exhibit the blinding precision and speed of Gary Holt and Rick Hunolt -- arguably the best, and definitely the most over-looked, lead guitar tag team in the genre. Finally, two choice cover versions of AC/DC's &Overdose& and the Southern Californian classic &Low Rider& adds just enough flavor and humor to the proceedings.
