Laaz Rockit were something of a cult band in the speed/thrash metal genre, partially because of the relative rarity of their original works. On Annihilation Principle the band abandoned most of their traditional heavy metal shades that prevailed earlier. As a result, this album is quite a consistent and controlled release, not to forget about the fact that the music is now a lot faster and can really be called thrash metal. The band's sound is much tighter and even the vocals are nastier than before, feeling just about right this time. The material is pretty well-balanced, the funny Dead Kennedys cover Holiday In Cambodia and the surprisingly subtle The Omen being more distinctive from the rest. Annihilation Principle is definitely a fine thrash metal album and unarguably Laaz Rockit's best release.
