A pure thrash attack from the New Jersey group. For me, 'Survive' was their most accomplished record, although Nuclear assault always remained mid-table in the major league, but can't be faulted for their energy and fast-paced rockin'. John Connelly's vocals can sometimes grate but on 'Stranded In Hell' the band find a happy medium, blitzing the ears with infernal thrash but slowing down when the time is right. Nuclear Assault were certainly popular during their time and 'Game Over' has alot of qualities which made early Metallica, Megadeth etc so classy, but for some reason the four-piece couldn't shift into first gear but thrashers will find much to savour here, even if the band will insist on injecting silly humour, but then again the thrash scene was known for such tomfoolery! Musically frantic, somehow refreshing, you know what you're getting with Nuclear Assault and let's face it, their name says it all. A quality thrash sleeve by Repka also.
6.5/10
