Independent is the best of the releases Sacred Reich made, i really enjoy Surf Nicaragua and The American Way because this albums are also awesome but with independent they reached a level of improvement and technique really amazing, for instance "product" is marked by a constant riff perhaps a little mechanical but exciting, "pressure" is a little more trashy, "independent" have a lot of speed metal and theres also some great Sabbath tunes with slow riffs and drumming in the rest of the tracks, saddly this Arizona ensamble is not active anymore but their place in Metal history is secure.HM
