Plus these reviews are in retrospective from over 10 years after the band broke up, so people actually KNOW how big of an impact at the gates had was and how big of an influence they had in Sweedish Metal and death metal. That's not even close to being a similar situation. i hate being right but someones gotta be...

What ultimately knocks a few points off Terminal Spirit Disease's total score is its short running time. At a paltry six new songs and three live recordings of older material, it feels more like an EP than a real album at times. But for anyone who was really paying attention, it obvious that At the Gates were on the cusp of something great, maybe even important in the realm of death/thrash metal. And sure enough, this threat soon became reality thanks to their timeless follow-up, Slaughter of the Soul.

RubberMallet wrote:http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=am ... fwxqyjlddeI'm going to get slammed for saying this, but I liked My Own Prison. I thought the title track, What's This Life For, One and Torn were good songs. Everything they did after that album was purely commercial arena rock, but I actually enjoyed their debut.
