Force of Habit is the fifth studio album by American thrash metal band Exodus, released on August 25, 1992, by Capitol Records.
This is Exodus's last album to feature John Tempesta on drums and is also their only album to feature Mike Butler on bass as well as the band's only release without the jagged edged "Exodus" logo that had appeared on all of the band's previous and subsequent releases.
It was later re-released in 2008 in a limited edition mini-album packaging to resemble the original vinyl release, including the inner sleeve.
Force of Habit received a mixed review from AllMusic's Roch Parisien, who stated that "Exodus slows the pace a notch, drops the guitars a register, and gives the thrash a little room to breathe.
"[3] Guitarist Gary Holt stated on Metal Evolution that Force of Habit is his least favorite Exodus album.
