Title: Overrated
Product review: I liked this stuff in the late 80's when I was in high school. I found the tape that I bought years ago and listened to it a few days back. I could not believe that I liked this back in the day. First off, the lyrics are silly. Honestly, they could have been written by a 12 year old. Secondly the music comes off as unoriginal. There is nothing that jumps out at you and makes you go "wow". Lastly, the Black Arrows of Death is one of the worst things ever recorded. It starts of with a rant that end with the line "let each note be a black arrow of death shot straight to the heart of those that play false metal" or something like that. Uhgggg. That is followed by one of the worst solos ever to grace an album. There is no melody to it. There is no structure. It is almost like they decided to play as many notes as possible in a fixed time. Absolute garbage. I no longer understand how anyone can take this band seriously.
