WOW...A Thrash Crossover?

"ATP'S Fulton Hills makes SATD sound like a demo. As good as "Divine" was, this new recording rocks harder and offers more diverse songs, including a couple ballads performed in the most thrashiest, coursest vocal performance since BOA's Jim Dandy Mangrum...and it works! ATP's new singer gives a great screaming/growling performance reminiscent of Phil Anslemo's "Nola" histronics. This guy sounds like sandpaper, but he hits every note, then floods the songs with thundering power and emotion, causing the rest of the band to elevate their game. Just when you think ATP pulled out all the stops, they conclude Fulton w/ "Searching for Balance", a Zepplinesque progressive rocker that's so good that you'll wonder if you actually heard what you just heard. A great way to end a great record."
