I had not heard this in years & am so glad Emusic had it on here. I love the plitical issues they talk about & makes the music more meaningful...& then you have the fact that it's one hell of a heavy album too!!!

This has always been one of my favorite "thrash" records. Every song is fantastic. I haven't heard the pre-production demos, but will be downloading them soon. Now if Sacred Reich would just put out a new CD!

They Say All Music Guide

As they evolved, Sacred Reich not only became one of the more accessible thrash metal units, but also one of the most lyrically compelling. Dark, troubling, and often highly sociopolitical, Reich has a lot to say on this solid effort. Addressing such topics as environmental destruction (“Crimes Against Humanity”) and the horrors of apartheid in South Africa (“State of Emergency”), The American Way makes us glad that lead singer/bassist Phil Rind had become fairly easy to understand. “Who’s to Blame” points the finger at those who blame headbangers for teenage suicide, arguing that metal’s detractors should look for the real culprit and say something about parental neglect instead. More lighthearted than the rest of the CD, “31 Flavors” is a rap-influenced number urging metalheads to broaden their musical tastes and check out some hip-hop and funk. The American Way was definitely Reich’s finest hour. – Alex Henderson
