Best Songs from Exodus's The Atrocity Exhibition... Exhibit A

The Atrocity Exhibition... Exhibit A is the eighth studio album by Exodus. It was recorded at Sharkbite Studios and was released on October 26, 2007. This album marks the return of longtime original Exodus drummer Tom Hunting, who last appeared on Tempo of the Damned in 2004.

The album takes its name from an experimental novel of the same name by J.G. Ballard, published in 1970. The title is also the same as a planned album by the Los Angeles thrash metal band Dark Angel, which was intended for release in 1992 but was never completed. Guitarist Gary Holt has stated that it is called Exhibit A because Exodus planned to release a follow-up album, Exhibit B, soon afterward. That album, Exhibit B: The Human Condition, was eventually released in 2010.

The song "Bedlam 1-2-3" ends at 7:57. From minute 7:02 to 7:57, there is an outro, which is also used as the intro for the lead-off track of the next album, The Ballad of Leonard and Charles. This is followed by 10 minutes and 10 seconds of complete silence. At 18:08, an extremely country-influenced version of the band's classic song "Bonded by Blood" begins. Due to its heavily country-styled sound, it was nicknamed "Bonded by Banjo" and is also sometimes referred to as "Banjoed by Blood."
