"Review no. 173. Holy sh**! This disc R-O-C-K-S! I know this will sound lame but Damage Plan was supposed to play my town like a week after guitarist Dimebag Darrell's untimely death. Due to the emotional shock that a lot (if not most) of us old school / long time metal fans were in following that tragic day - what many have NOW tagged as the Heavy Metal's 911, I simply could not get myself to take the time to listen to this CD. But after awhile, I found it to be an inspiration to myself as well as a couple of fellow patrons. I mean, Damage Plan is IN fact a branch of Pantera, so THUS it (in my humble opinion) is a darn good 'extreme metal' album. Cuts I thought made this title a keeper are "Breathing New Life", the in-your-face "Pride", the aggressive "Reborn", "Blunt Force Trauma" and the disc's acoustic closer "Soul Breed". If this title doesn't do something for fans of Machine Head, Soulfly, Rob Zombie and Slayer - then I really don't know my music."
