Agreed!

A brutal album, a bit weird having a new vocalist (like most, I prefer Souza), and Tom Hunting was replaced by Paul Bostaph on this one, but the songs are bitchin. Bizarre album title.

I always preferred Souza as well but I don't think the albums they made with him since he returned are as strong as the Dukes records. Although the last one was better than Blood in Blood Out imo. I've grown to really appreciate the Dukes era. Hunting missing is very noticable, since he has a pretty distinct style and Exodus just sounds a little different without him imo.

I really like the first 2 Dukes albums, the third one sounds good, but none of the songs really stand out to me... Of course, Holt's solos are the highlight.

The last Exodus album is brutal, I love it, better than Blood In Blood Out.
