4.0 excellent | Xenorazr | February 27th 17 | Excellent crossover thrash material, weaving through a short-but-sweet collage of tracks so seamlessly and with such brevity that it begs to be replayed again and again.

4.0 excellent | Ganoncannon | March 25th 20 | Power Trip have captured the spirit of 80s thrash excellently and whilst they aren't really cutting edge, they serve up a straightforward style that is more entertaining than most modern thrash metal bands.

2.5 average | Arditi | September 8th 19 | Boomers be like "tHiS iZ KeePinG ThrASh ALiVe!", when in reality this is 25% thrash, and 75% below average hardcore.

2.5 average | 05McDonaldT | December 14th 17 | I've no issue with their lack of originality, just their lack of good songs or memorable riffs.

3.0 good | zaruyache | April 11th 17 | Thrash metal that isn't awful, wow! Might more-or-less utilize Evile's philosophy of trying a bunch of styles and never really backtracking, but it's still solid thrash, if only that.

4.0 excellent | cjbizzlebizzle | April 3rd 17 | A very refreshing Trash/Crossover album. Power Trip excel in blending in retro thrash elements without it sounding forced or incredibly obvious that they are trying to hommage old school thrash. This approach results in a great blend of metal that captures what the greats were able to accomplish in years past but still sounds like a 2017 effort. Short and sweet at 33 minutes long, the average track length of about 4 minutes allows each song to stand out on its own. They really did a great job with the layout of the tracks here. Aggressive, full of soul and in your face. This album is one that any fan of metal should spin at least once. It will be interesting to see where they go from here and hopefully it isn't another 4 years between albums.

2.5 average | Brewtality91 | March 30th 17 | This band sucks. And by that I mean they're basically taking Kreator, Sodom, Metallica, Exodus, etc and rewriting their songs. Nothing to see here. Move along. Vocals are weaker than all the bands mentioned as well.

3.4 great | Trey STAFF | March 1st 17 | Old school thrash with some really cool riffs. The vocals could be better and all the songs are roughly similar, but it's still really good.

3.5 great | Voivod STAFF | February 28th 17 | Power Trip acquired quite a reputation for themselves with their first album as a crossover thrash allure, so their sophomore album was eagerly awaited; Nightmare Logic is not crossover thrash by the numbers, rather it comes as a pastiche of different US thrash styles (Slayer, Exodus, Metallica etc) in which well-intended groove plays a seminal part. That said, album is devoid of real stand-outs, which makes it an ideal soundtrack for extra-curricular activities, namely weight lifting. Stream: http://powertripsl.bandcamp.com/album/nightmare-logic

3.5 great | Erwann S. STAFF | February 2nd 23 | Ripping riffs open this up, and then it's more of the same. Solipsism is a bitch, and this is just another thrash album for me. The first couple of tracks is the real deal.

3.0 good | alkostach | February 13th 22 | Too much HC for me to digest easily. Even with the short runtime it's mundane and repetitive as puck. The HC riffs are simply so shitty and overdone. Plus for organic sound and production.

4.5 superb | TableLamp | November 18th 21 | After some time digesting this I'm bumping it from 3.5 to 4.5. I've done some in-depth analysis concluded that this fucking rips.

4.5 superb | Lucio Fidelis | January 16th 21 | One of the albums that grew the most on me. Superb record, R.I.P., Riley Gale.

3.5 great | Arokan | December 9th 17 | Very consistent cross thrash album. Heavy riffs, tight drums, powerful vocals . It's biggest flaw is that all tracks sound a bit similar. However his isn't this much of a problem cause of album lenght which is only about 30 minutes.

3.5 great | Alabaster Jones | May 18th 17 | About as solid a crossover thrash album you'll ever hear in this day and age. If you want your thrash to reinvent the wheel, stop reading, because this is not for you. If you want your thrash to be fun, riffy, and have a lot of attitude, then by all means proceed, because Nightmare Logic is definitely for you. It's a bit hard to differentiate the songs from one another when listening to the record, but on a song-by-song basis they're all expertly done crossover with just the right amount of attitude to give it some personality. As far as what's going on during the songs, it's not rocket science: delectable riffs, powerful vocals, speedy and entertaining drumming, and tightly-played bass. These guys may not be world-beaters, but there's no doubt that they know what makes a good crossover album and have no qualms providing that, so if you're a crossover fan, you should guaranteeably enjoy this.

3.5 great | TheManMachine | May 2nd 17 | Nothin' really beyond the ushe as far as crossover thrash goes, but when it's this solid+spirited who cares? Punchy production that's heavy and never overdone, all-around rippin' performances, short but substantial duration -- not only a terrific hybrid of hardcore and metal, but of fun and tough too. The most these guys go goofball is when they make a trip to the executioner sound like a real hoot and even get you to empathize with him ("Even a killer has to get paid!") -- routinely however they're more on the ol impending doom/mass slaughter/perils-of-mass-complacency train, maybe kinda trite-thrash as well but sounds rather righteous these days and considerably rousing here. And they got ya both having a blast singing along to it and trying your hardest not to run amok without one mention of a party. Also included for interludial apocalyptic reinforcement are some gurgly steamrollers and robo-synths.

3.5 great | marf1300 | March 21st 17 | Nightmare Logic may not bring nothing new to the table, but it recreates old 80's thrash exceptionally well.
