My opinion is much the same as what has been written above about the band. They`re too inconsistent to be regarded as a great metal act, and also I`ve got to say they are now a group I tend to overlook too.
Apart from the classic "Bonded By Blood" the only other albums of note are "Fabulous Disaster" and "Force of Habit" The latter if I remember correctly having an amusing conversation between a band member and a pet shop attendent over a monkey (as part of a song intro) These two albums were enjoyable, but I wouldn`t call them great or anything like that.
When people think of Exodus they normally think of Paul Baloff as the singer, and it often surprises people that he was only ever on three Exodus album. Steve Souza sang on the lions share of Exodus stuff. They now have another lead singer
The group is probably best remembered as being home at one time, to some great metal musicians such as Kirk Hammett, Paul Bostaph and John Tempest.
