sanctioned annihilation starts slow and wound tight and for a minute or so i got properly snug. then the double kick comes in and it gallops off. it's high on fire, pike has never promised anyone a slow song, so i let it go. ballou gets the bass sounding like a wardrobe going down the stairs. four stars.
