Epidemic

Though the lyrics are...confusing at times this is a great thrash metal album. I'm quite surprised this album wasn't more popular...oh well. The guitar on this album is very good. Martin Chandler pumps out some hard and heavy riffs. What I really love about the sound of this album is that it has such a -full- sound. With many bands i've noticed that they have a thin sound with only one guitar but Panic has a great thick sound. The drums on this record...really werent anything too special but they fit very well with the songs. Moving to the lyrics...Blackfeather Shake has some screwed up lyrics. When I first read them after buying the album I was going "What the -fuck- are they talking about?" Its hard to tell what they're talking about at times but...it doesn't make it any worse. I guess the only problem with this album to me is that the drums really werent anything all that special.

Overall I think this is a great thrash album that is worth any thrash fan's attention. You wont regret picking up this record.
