"What's not to love about Pentagram? They are one of the loudest and most monolithic rock & roll bands ever. Plus they have one of the greatest and most overlooked vocalists in Metal, who just happens to be a dead ringer for Vlad The Impaler. Feedback drenched, droning dinosaur riffing at it's best. Bobby sure knows how to come up with some seriously eeeeeevil sounding melodies. This is PURE heavy metal. Dark, demented, and frighteningly heavy..."

Heavy, heavy, heavy. Worth the extra $

"I know it looks a bit expensive, but it's imported from Italy, for chrisakes. I guess Pentagram is a bit difficult to work with, so all their albums are on different labels. That said, this is a recent recording of new and old Pentagram songs. Some of them are newly penned, but some of them date from the 1970s and 1980s, as any true Pentagram fan will recognize a few songs from the early days. It doesn't matter. And it hardly matters that all the instruments are played by one dude, and Bobby L. does all the singing (and the bulk of the songwriting). Joe is a very good guitarist, a killer drummer, and the remake of the old songs, especially Review Your Choices comes across as brutal as you'd hope it would. Plus, Bobby sings pretty darn good for an old man.
Don't miss this CD if you are a fan of Pentagram, or if you want your idiot neighbor's lawn to die."
