I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...they are the reigning kings of thrashdom; best guitar duo, best vocalist, best drummer, best lyrics, best imagery, and the perfection of RiB / SitA...they simply rule. Don't try arguing the case for lesser bands, you're wasting your time and I will always win.
Re: Divine Intervention
...”Suicidal hierarchy racing in reverse”...
Half of Divine Intervention is okay but the other tends to stray into the meh. Perhaps it would vastly improve with a remix/remaster, I’m not sure. Nevertheless Paul Bostoph as replacement drummer does a fine job throughout and highlights must include Fictional Reality, S.M.A., Mind Control, the frenetic RiB style of Dittohead and Tom’s “love song” in 213. Only wish there was more to savour though.
