 Ad exodus to the big 4 and call it the big 5! October 25, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Yes,we all know megadeth,metallica,anthrax and slayer are known as the ''big 4''of thrash metal which they deserve because they were some of the earliest(and admittedly the best)of the bunch,but I believe a lot of their reputation stem from overall popularity and record sales.Exodus of course were around as long ago as these others(metallica got kirk hammett from them).They deserves as much recognition as these others;holt and hunolt are/were two of the best guitarists imaginable with great riffs,solo's and song structures.As for the''pleasures of the flesh''album it's a great follow-up to the classic''bonded by blood''debut.The insane riff and opening monologue of album opener''deranged''is all you need to hear to understand how good this disc is.I noticed that the drum tracks were produced seperately and by another person than the rest of the album and they have a plastic sound to them and this is my only(slight)complaint about this great disc.I'd also like to point out that back in the day I was(and still am)a big fan of original vocalist paul balloff but in hindsight I can say that zetro souza was the better singer.So there!Thrash 'till death!
 Not Their Best, But Still Really Good May 7, 2008
3 1/2 stars would probably be more accurate. While not quite on par with their "Bonded By Blood" or "Fabulous Disaster," "Pleasure of the Flesh" is still a good record.
I did miss Paul Balioff's vocals, but Souza has his own good style. It would improve over time, and especially on the eventual "Tempo of the Damned."
Getting back to the subject at hand, 'Deranged' is creepy words with no music; 'Till Death Do Us Part' is a high point that expresses "Exodus's" refusal to sell out. (And in my opinion, they never did.) 'Parasite' is another high point. 'Brain Dead' is listenable. 'Faster Than You'll Ever Live To Be' is alright. 'Pleasures of the Flesh' starts off with some jungle sounds and has some great guitar work. '30 Seconds' is a nice instrumental with a good classical sound. 'Seeds of Hate' has some notably strong guitar work. There is a frightening realism to 'Chemi Kill' that explores the hypocrisy of politicians. 'Choose Your Weapon' ends the record on a high note.
I can't quite put this on the same level as their "Bonded By Blood," "Fabulous Disaster," or "Tempo of the Damned." However, it is still a great record that any "Exodus" fan should have.

Exodus is the most underrated thrash metal band of all time--at least in my opinion. They started out promising and darker than Metallica and Slayer. However, after Fabulous Disaster they got too goofy and weird. Eventually they drifted away into oblivion. Nonetheless, they're back. And although this review is not about their return, it's still good to now that this album was monumental in the uprising of Exodus. This album is a classic, and it is a requisite for all thrash metal fans. Like their previous effort, Bonded By Blood, every song is full of vigor, energy and pure brutality. Rarely is there a band that puts high energy to every song in their album.

this is my favorite exodus album. they is one of the bay area's original metal masters. the guitar work is awesome, as one, if not both, are classically trained musicians.
