Exodus "Exhibit B: The Human Condition" CD

Since Rob Dukes has joined Exodus their albums haven't been quite as good as in the past. Shovel Headed Killing Machine was an alright start for Dukes and following that with Exhibit A really wasn't a whole lot better. Let there be Blood was not a great idea by holt considering the fact the tracks were already legendary and having Paul Baloff on vocals is pretty much what helped make them legendary.
That brings us to Exhibit B. If your an exodus critic then the first thing you will probably realize is most songs on the album run from 6 to 7 minutes each. Most bands that release songs this long make them very drug out and boring. Each song though is unique in its own way and makes the time pass by very quickly. Songs consist of incredible riffs, fast drumming, and some of the best solos out there today. One thing that is very noticable that has improved alot is the production quality. All the songs on the album are produced very cleanly unlike Exhibit A.
The lyrical content of this album is fuckin sick. All songs are based of Gary Holt's view of what humans are like and the sick creatures that we are. Songs go from serial killers, school shootings, the rape of Nanking, and America's shitty government leaders and economy. The songs open up your mind and make you thing about how brutal of creatures humans really are.
Robs vocals have drastically improved from Exhibit A. It seems with every new album release Robs vocals continue to get better. In SHKM they were way to raspy sounding and with Exhibit A he cleaned them up a bit but they still weren't perfect. With this release he has found his perfect balance of a tad bit of rasp but most of his vocals are really clean and brutal.
Overall this album is a vast improvement from the past view releases from the almighty Exodus. This is definitely a album worth picking up in stores and anyone that has the chance to go see them on tour should go. Don't pass up the chance. Exodus has been Thrashing hard for 30 years and haven't let up a bit. I recommend this album to anyone that is a die hard thrash fan or is just in the mood to head bang and toxic waltz a little bit.
