3rd times a charm
This album raised the bar for Tourniquet and all other metal bands from the 1990 till forever. Not a week track on the album. THis is the last album to feature Guy Ritter on vocals- that's too bad cuz he's pretty great.

Got this when it first came out. Their music varied from lighter metal, like later metallica to fast thrash, to stuff like hellhammer but yet not really sounding like those bands but rather sounding like, well, Tourniqet. Some of them had experience in the medical field and used terms and words that are quite complicated. A nice depart from the usual.
This album builds on the previous one, (Physco Surgery) Gary and Guy share more of the vocal responsibilities. I always thought Gary sounded like Tom from Slayer. The vocal trade off in Theodicy on Trial is awesome. These songs are fast, intense and very well written. Download this, you won't be sorry.
Tourniquet was at the height of their game/powers with this indisputable classic. Few bands of any ilk achieve this level of complexity. Unfortunately, Tourniquet has never been able to rise to this level again.
