Mr. Jeff's statements during the recordings of "Schizo Deluxe" predisposed me to listen to something really great. Vainly, since listening to their last of work, all you get is a big disappointment. Unfortunately none of the songs is able to stand next to any of the previous ones. Maybe this album is especially for guitarists, since there is an incredible job on riffs and solos. If you are not a musician you can just recognize Jeff's abilities, but hardly will he makes you listen to the album again as pleasurably as you listen to the pentad of the Annihilator releases. If you are worshippers of Annihilator's five albums I don't think that you will be satisfied by "Schizo Deluxe" as a release.

Bottom Line: I think that Annihilator are in a cadent wind as far as the quality of the releases is concerned. I hope that "Schizo Deluxe" is the last piece of decline.
