"After tours with Kreator, Arch Enemy, Testament, and Megadeth among others, a re-recording of Bonded By Blood, and the release of their live cd/dvd back in January, Exodus have finally returned with Exhibit B: The Human Condition, the continuation of The Atrocity Exhibition. The long wait was certainly worth it as the band has proven once again that they can deliver. Where Exhibit A was dark and thrashy, and even had more groove elements, Exhibit B is even darker and more epic with more longer tracks averaging around 7 minutes (the longest track is 9 minutes and 32 seconds), and even fewer moments to catch your breath. Thrash metal and Exodus fans take notice: Exodus is back."

"Gary Holt is da man!!! This bastid keeps on churning out memorable and exciting riffs w/each release. The songs are super long on this relese w/the cd clocking in at a whopping 78minutes. It is a lot to take in, luckily the band does not repeat the riffs so many times. This is the best that Dukes has ever sounded. He sounds very similiar to Zetro on this, coupled w/his own distinct snarl. Drumming is decent, Hunting is reliable, but does not do anything out of the ordinary here. The Sneap production is crunchy, clear and precise. Solos are the best Altus and Holt have done together, easily. The more I listen to this the more I think I like it better than Exhibit A. For now if you have liked the new incarnation of Exodus since 2004 there is no reason you would not like this. Buy or Die!!"
Very good thrash album

"Since their 2003 reformation they have impressed me with taking their own style of thrash into more extreme territories, but until this album I never felt the need to buy the album. After hearing a promo for this I immediately ordered this from the label. Very well worth the money. This is the best thrash I've heard since the late 80's."
