i am the proud owner of this album and i can say that it's great. for a 'thrash' album, i can say it's bouncy and full of the fun that we've come to expect of SOAD. 'Violent Pornography' has a very 'poppy' chorus which you can sing along to. but they can still kick the hell out of all those other bands that think they're thrash. 5 out of 5.
