The vocals really feel a bit off, almost like they don't have much power behind them... but the album is great in every other way

For complete storyline of this album, listen to the songs in this order: 1) A Subtle Induction (boy is subjected); 2) The New Priesthood (he questions religion); 3) Time Does Not Heal (he can't forget abuse); 4) Psychosexuality (he becomes demented); 5) Act of Contrition (he is obsessed with a girl); 6) Sensory Deprivation (he tortures her); 7) An Ancient Inherited Shame (he rapes her); 8) Pain's Invention, Madness (he is imprisoned); 9) Trauma and Catharsis (she struggles)

My favourite DFA and probably always will be, unless they ever make a fifth album and somehow top it. Amazing music, amazing performances, amazing riffs, amazing lyrics. Just perfect.

My least favorite DFA record, but it is still relentlessly heavy & ass-kicking. These guys just can't make bad music!

The most stupid thing is to compare Darkness Descends with this album. Yeah DD is their best, but i think this album is a very good effort too. It have it's moments. There is speed, not like in DD but still a very decent work. My expectations wasn't good, because of negative opinions and reviews, but after listening to it i can say that this album is very nice. Proves that Dark Angel have 4 albums and all of them are awesome.

definately too many posers in this thread. if you dont like - dont listen, nuts! DD is one of my favs of all time but this one kicks shit out of my brain, too. im a fan of the band and not only of one album. of course you can be of the opinion that this is not their masterpiece (subjective), but there are many people that DO like this album. so am i.

Vocals are disappointing. Ron looks like he has got a HUGE balls and sings like he hasn't.

Main songwriter left the band after Leave Scars, the new guitarist brought in a lot of his ideas as well as Gene who were looking into doing something nobody had done before this perfectly (Artillery's By Inheritance is another example of a band making amazing brutal thrash with Terror Squad but on By Inheritance the singer started to sing and it's now viewed still, as Artillery's best album despite them putting many albums after). It's sad that they only toured shortly after this was released and then broke up, one track minds is what kind of killed thrash for a decade where only Slayer, Sodom and a few less known bands like Anonymus, Tankard and Hypnosia (what's coming to mind right now) continued to do. But one listen to Anonymus's Stress is enough to find their 90's death/thrash out there great despite being sang in french (they're french canadian).

Darkness Descends is better and faster, OK. Don Doty is cooler than Rinehart's somewhat uni-directional vocals, OK. 67 minutes is a bit long for a thrash album, OK. But seriously, I can't understand all the hate... this albums still kicks ass, the riffs are memorable and Glen's work is great too. It's like their own ...And Justice For All (songs became longer and more complex,and speed and agression were replaced by groove and catchiness).For me, it's one of the best Thrash albums from the nineties.

This is the only studio album by Dark Angel that I can honestly say I "hate". 246 riffs? Having 246 riffs would be great if the songs that accompanied them didn't have such poor structure. This whole entire album is extremely boring, over done in length, and it feels like the band is trying way too hard. I wonder what album I have seen this before. Oh I know, Metallica's ...And Justice for All release.

I'm surprised there seems to be so much distaste for this album here. I finally got a copy and have listened to it all the way through a good couple of times and I think it's amazing.

Can't stand listening this album more than 5 minutes even though I love Dark Angel. Vocals are really irritating and earsplitting. Good album for 4 minuets of listening for that matter.
