I think it actually works better than the Nuclear Blast release. Corey, have you heard the original release of this album? I think it actually works better than the Nuclear Blast release.

I definitely hear the similarities to Kill 'Em All-era Metallica. Still, I wouldn't necessarily consider this a 5-star album, and certainly not album of the year, not with the new Obscura, TrollfesT, and Amorphis albums, and with new Clutch yet to come. It's solid, but it's not exactly treading new ground. Hmmm… pretty good stuff. I definitely hear the similarities to Kill ‘Em All-era Metallica.

They just released the vinyl a few weeks ago. Yeah, look at Mantic’s page on the Nuclear Blast Europe website. They just released the vinyl a few weeks ago.

I like my thrash to have a darker vibe anyway, so that's probably why I lean more towards that side of the fence. Plus, LAD's drummer frickin' RIPS. Thanks for the recommendation, though; looking forward to the next review. Alright, well I took a listen to their MySpace and while it’s indeed very good, I’m just not feeling it like LAD.

Now, "The Age of Quarrel" is in my Top 20 desert island discs, but Cro-Mags still never rose to the level of Metallica's greatness back in the day. I believe MR has the ability to do just that and eclipse the Hellish Crossfires and Evil Armies of the world. Still, great stuff!

I couldn't agree with you more! After reading your review and hearing a couple songs on myspace, I had to buy it... This is the best album I've heard in a long long time. Thank you so much for turning me onto this band. Incredible speedy wonderfullness!!! This album has a lot of balls. It is right up there with Kill'em All. OMG!!!! I couldn’t agree with you more!

MR would be good party thrash for me... drink some PBRs to it, that kind of thing. It's well done though, and I'd love to hear this on vinyl... I'd play it right after my Exciter LP. :) Lazarus AD is still my favorite debut this year so far — not many albums make me go “what the fuck?!” with the first riff, but they pulled it off.
