Negative Positive
Title: Once this was pure evil!
Review: When I was young, Motorhead was the hardest thing around. Then came Venom! I bought "Black metal" on LP and in fact I liked a couple of tracks. Now (long after I sold all my LP's) I saw this album released on CD, and I decided buy it again, for old time sake...I must say that the metal genre surely has developed, or at least gone further we could imagine back in 1982. By today's standard Venom are no longer the heaviest or meanest guys... With hindsight we can clearly see that Venom weren't even that talented in the first place but the title track "Black metal" sure have something special.I guess you can buy this album for nostalgic reasons but if you're unfamiliar with Venom I guess you'll find it all rather ridiculous. The production isn't good, but for me who haven't heard this album in almost 15 years it was quite a pleasant experience. Maybe another 15 years will pass before I put this one again.
Is the review positive or negative?
