It's a daunting task to review this metal masterpiece that was unleashed on the world in 1990. If you want the short version, it is go buy this album if you don't own it . Now, for the lengthier version. From the opening acoustic guitar on "Parting of the Ways" until the last notes of "One Foot in Hell", you are "Hypnotized by the Rhythm" (to use the title of a song of their next album) of "Twisted Into Form". The opener, the aforementioned acoustic track, draws you in only for you to be utterly demolished by the masterpiece "Infinite". I can't think of a better thrash song ever recorded. The third track "Out of Body (Out of Mind)" flows seamlessly from "Infinite" (I didn't know where the one stopped and the other started when I had the cassette version). After that, you are treated to "Step By Step", a catchier tune, but nonetheless still amazing. I could go on and on about each of the songs, but I don't really feel like writing for that long. Suffice it to say, this album engrosses you in a complex, textured masterpiece of metal. The lyrics are interesting and perceptive, the vocals are top-notch (clean, but not overly harmonic), and all of the instruments are played flawlessly to weave an intricate sonic web that will enthrall you from start to finish. This is thrash metal in its finest hour; I can't recommend this album enough.
