    That's a record of very high quality in any sense.. What a great line-up! The same of their early masterwork 'A Minut To Pray..'. The guys, like every good red wine, are gettin' even better with the years. That's another big notice for people grew up in the eighties with planning to live fast & die young: it's possible to become old manteining the cool of the gone good times.
    I'll buy the record and I hope you'll do the same. These ol'boys really deserve it.

      they did it... they really did it...
      14 years after the last flesheaters record chris's songs still cut straight into your soul like they always did-and as unbelievable as it may sound - this very linup sounds in a way even more powerful than they did some 35 years back...
      and even if i personally find it a bit difficult to understand why the reworked versions of the wedding dice or pony dress are here-some-like miss muerte make total sense to me...
      but let's not be too picky... this is what you waited for for a long-long time...do yourself a favor and order this record because
      here come the spinerollers... and they come bloody big time...
      and to make things even more wonderful:
      julie is also back!!!
      don't you guys ever leave us again!!!
