Never gonna win an award, but worth the trip.......2005-10-15

I've had this CD for about 10 years now. The music is dated just a bit, but back in the day.. it was on a par with most HM bands. The only problem was, it was never really put out there to the general public. I hear a few bands mixed in with their sound.. but to me, they are not blatantly copying anybody. I especially like how they employ a good bit of beat changes.

You might wonder why I'm writing this review.. almost 16 years post production. Well, a co-worker borrowed about 25 of my CD's.. and gave them all back to me (which is a good thing).. but since lending them to him, I filled in a few slots in my CD jukebox. When push came to shove, I had to make a decision.. Wrathchild America or 1 of 2 Stone Temple Pilot CD's. I settled on Wrathchild America over both STP's.

I have seen the references to Metallica, but quite frankly, everyone out there around the early 90's, was compared to Metallica.. but comparisons shouldnt diminish how good this CD is. If you ever have a chance to pick it up, just remember to give it a chance.

What a breath of fresh air..........5 huge metal stars!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-08-10

I bought this album back in '91 after seeing the video for 'Surrounded By Idiots'. And what a funny video that was. I was completly blown away when I popped this into my car. This album was the most original, inspiring, creative music at the time. Brad Divens(bass/vocals) sounded a bit like James Hetfield.
But the music was so far away from anything that Metallica produced at the time.Great production every song is fantastic......I really can't think of a track that I don't like. Each song burns with an intensity and direction I really never heard from an American band before especially on a softmore effort. The riffs are so sick,heavy and original( I can go on and on). The drumming is fantastic and intricate(way to go Shannon Larkin).The lyrics are funny and well written. Nothing sounded like this at the time and nothing still does............a real fun album to listen to.
One word that comes to mind is variety and in the world of metal(especially back then) that was hard to come by. Their first album 'Climbing The Walls'(3 Stars)sucked compare to this gem. The production was horrible and the songs lacked any bit of direction. They took a huge leap forward on this one and it really shows.....it is undeniable how awesome this cd still is.
They would later go on to change their name, record company and style in '93.But this album stands the test of time.......still just as fresh now as it was in 1991.

HERE IS SOME RECOGNITION........2004-12-23

Thanks for the Bad-a record. Loved it for years.You were a little ahead for your time.
Don't take offence if you don't like them but System of a Down's vibe (not sound) reminds me of 3-D. Perhaps it's their sense of humor, being slightly ahead of their time, attitude or something.
Go make a new sound.

A Band That Never Got The Recognition It Deserved.......2004-03-26

This was truly one of the best bands of the late eighties, early ninties. A lot of people think that Climbin The Walls was their best album but I personally liked 3-D better. This album has a lot of groove and melody to it and has some killer riffs. You are really missing out on a good heavy metal album if you don't have this one in your collection. Don't let anyone tell you that this album sucks because I bet you would like this album better than a lot of this new stuff coming out these days and I aint joking. If you feel safer buying a used copy of this album then do it but I'm telling you that you will not be disapointed. Now I'm not saying that this is the best album that you will ever hear so don't take me the wrong way. Well, that's all I have to say so quit wasting time and get this album.

Old - School.......2003-05-25

I bought this cd on recommendation of a co-worker. I listen to agressive metal and hardcore for the most part, so upon listening to this album (made in '91) it struck me as really old - school. It has guitar lead solos in nearly every song, and the way the vocals are sung is reminiscient of early Metallica. There are some humorous songs on the album, a good instrumental and most of the songs have a pretty clear meaning. So if ya dig older sounding metal it wouldn't hurt to check out Wrathchild America '3-D'.
