As a poor white kid in a nowhere PNW town, this album was on constant rotation. I grew up on and still am primarily an extreme metal listener but this record hit just right at 19.
On my way to the shitty mill in the morning? Kill You. Getting high after my shift? Criminal. Drinking excessively with the miscreants I grew up with on our nights off? Drug Ballad.
I gave it a full relisten in a work trip a few months back and… man I still love the shit outta it but I can see it’s limits 20 some odd years later.
