Fantastic melding of late 80s thrashy riff styles with more expensive song structures. No Exit brings philosophical themes in lyrics to the forefront. Ray Alder gives it his all on his first outing. He's among the best clean tenor vocals of this period of metal along with Geoff Tate and Midnight. 1988 was simply a fantastic year for metal when you count the absolute classic releases from that year and No Exit ranks with the best of them.
