Honestly, I've enjoyed all of the offerings that have come from Jeff Waters and co. They all are unique in their own way, yet they are all so closely related to each other that you can instantly tell two things…number 1, that it is definitely an Annihilator record, and number 2, that Jeff prefers to stay true to his thrash metal roots.
Metal Review by Mike Korn I have been a Jeff Waters fan from the early days of Annihilator so it should come as no surprise that I have been anxiously awaiting this release.Pre-release information hinted at an “old school metal” vibe to the new material and then I heard about the special guest list which included a “who’s who” of the new metal breed.

Schizo Deluxe Review by Greg Olma Annihilator should be up there with the big 4 of thrash. Jeff Waters has been and will always be considered Annihilator.

Let's establish one thing right off the bat...Jeff Waters can shred. The Annihilator guitarist (in truth, Waters is Annihilator...a fact anybody who watches this DVD would be hard pressed to dispute) is simply one of the best heavy metal axe-men of the last 20 years. In terms of playing ability, he is right up there with the likes of Hammett, Mustaine and Skolnick.
