Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars The most progressive album of their career.......2005-10-29

When this came out in 1987, it sounded like a Thrash record just like everything else on Metal Blade at the time. But on closer inspection, this D.R.I. album is the most progressive album of thier career and ahead of it's time. Songs like "Decisions" and "Tear it Down" have a very progressive structure and the breaks are amazing in musicmanship.

The production was also much better than the production on "Dealing with It". Bill Metoyer, the producer of the first couple Slayer albums and two Hirax albums, does a really good job here. The speed of the band had generally mellowed out a little at this point. Don't get me wrong there are some fast songs, but the slowness and disonance of some numbers gives the general feel of the album a slow one. On the next album, "Four of a Kind", the speedy numbers would make quite a return. For this reason, no two D.R.I. albums sound alike.

This was also a very successful tour for D.R.I. Playing with bands like Possessed, Executioner, only made the shows better.

Oh, and to the reviewer who said "Crossover, bad idea" and "If you like Thrash this is okay". Let's get one thing straight, Dealing with It was a Thrash (or if you prefer Thrashcore) album. What do you think you are listening to? How old are you? 12? This is a Thrash band, just because they had a hardcore tendency at times doesn't make them any less of one. Was Nuclear Assault less Thrash just because they had a hardcore element?

5 out of 5 stars Masterpeice!.......2005-04-30

If you don't think this is a masterpiece then you should be ashamed of yourself...ASHAMED!

This makes Tim Timmy's "Masterpeice" list!

5 out of 5 stars OLD PUNK/Maybe Thrash.......2004-10-22

Well its hard to label this band as punk or thrash. They play fast very good guitar riffs (thrash) and have a catch chorus(punk). They are a well known band in the early 80-90s or so. I have to say that may fav. track would be, HOOKed, 5 Yr Plan, And coffin. Its is a very awesome record to get into and the melody and chorus of the jams are very easy to rock to...

3 out of 5 stars crossover......bad idea........2004-05-08

buying this album,rushing home to play it....deadly silence,have i bought the wrong record,afraid not.it is so diverse from dealing with it,why change a winning team.anyway if crossover had been d.r.i.s first release people would be saying not bad at all.the power is there with some speedy,catchy tunes.if you like thrash then this is for you...

5 out of 5 stars The change over from early Punk to metal in the '80s.......1999-04-29

in this album one can easily see the change in style between earlyer DRI albums with there more raw street punk style to a more speed metal sound that is an example of what was happening at the time and is more prevalent in some of their later albums.
