"Chances are, if you are on this page, you have heard Exodus. But unless you've been to one of their shows back in the day, you haven't HEARD Exodus, if you know what I mean. This album (err, sorry CD), is absolutely amazing. It captures the bone-crushing feel of the live shows and captures it in crystal clear audio perfection. As a matter of fact this recording is so good you may not ever listed to the studio stuff again! The mix is dead-on perfect with deep, undistorted bass and kick drums pumelling your eardrums without bleeding over an obscuring the crunchy guitars or Paul's vocals for that matter. Even if you usually don't dig live stuff, give this a try, it will change your whole tune."

"I love this album, my brother downloaded one track from it about 3 years ago and as soon as I heard it I went straight down to the record shop and bought it. The guitaring, drumming and singing is quality and gets you so hyped up with a great track selectiion. I recommend this album to anyone who likes speed/death metal as it truely deserves my 5 stars."

"I just need to add my approval, the best live thrash album I've heard. Better than most studio ones too. This album kicks with the intensity that thrash had back in the late 80's, with the production of Andy Sneap. It's bone crushing, the guitars and drums sound fantastic. The performance is inspired. Baloff sounds like a maniac having a ball. I'm not 100% sure what he means half the time, but in a break between songs, when there's a bit of banter and some idiot in the crowd yelling "Just play....just play", the riff starts, Baloff bleats "Look at us Now!", the drums kick in and there's just a f$%K off level of power that no one could refute. Floored!"
Great Music, love Exodus, But Paul Baloff is awful. R.I.P. t

"Exodus is awesome and i really like Steve Souza as a vocalist and look at him as the real beginning of Exodus, much like Bruce Dickinson being the start of Maiden, even though Paul Dianno was the original singer. I remember hearing this when it came out and thinking my god Paul Baloff has to be one of the worst singer(or try to sing) that i've ever heard. The new Exodus is awesome, and the new singer went back to some old school vocals on it, also Tempo of the Damned was a great return but also a disappointment because nearly everyone left afterwards. At any rate this album is recorded so well you can't even tell its live, nice to hear all the original members together, but wow Baloff kept hitting these little HI notes ALL the TIME like he was going through puberty, poor guy. I was sorry to hear about his death, that was sad, guy had no luck i guess. Well at least Exodus carried on his legacy in re-recording Bonded By Blood, which back then he didn't sound half bad. Carry on."
The return of the godfathers of thrash metal

"Must buy for every fan of speed and thrash metal! This stuff is more than 15 years old, but it will blow your speakers. My favourite band over the years: superb drums and bass, 2 excellent guitarplayers (both capable of solo's) and the guy who invented violent performance: Paul Baloff on the mic! If you like metal, buy it, it's a classic!"
