Exodus' fifth studio album, leads the band it's highest level so far. They seem to have spent the most time on the songwriting for 'Force Of Habit'. The line-up for this album is vocalist Steve Souza, ace-guitarist Gary Holt, second guitarist was Rick Honult, the bassist was Mike Butler and drummer John Tempesta. The sound is a departure from the band's previous albums, focusing on a rather slower and experimental sound, which presented a mixture of progressive and more groovy metal. The album includes two cover versions: The Rolling Stones' "Bitch" featuring the Tower Of Power horn section and Elvis Costello's "Pump It Up". 'Force Of Habit' is another great strike from the Thrash Metal legends Exodus.
