Morbid Angel's 4th album (released in '95). New guitar player Erik Rutan has joined the band. I have to say that this is my least favorite album by Morbid Angel - it is somewhat commercialized, the vocals aren't what they were before and the lyrics are also bad. The music is still good but different (I think a lot of it have to do with Rutan's influence). Anyway, I wouldn't recommend this album if you have never heard Morbid Angel before, even though you can still find some good songs (like "Domination" and "Caesar's Palace"). The guitar work here is of a very high quality and difficulty, and you can still find some great solos...I especially liked the one on "Where the Slime lives", and the drums are blasting and fast, but it's just not the typical Morbid Angel style. Some changes must be done. On the other hand, this album is loved by a lot of people who didn't like Morbid Angel before...
