Title: Classic Thrash
Review: Talk about an upgrade! I finally threw out my 20 year old cassette of "Doomsday" and picked up this CD/DVD combo! It sounds great. The crisp production makes it sound as if these tunes were laid down last week, not two decades ago.As far as the album goes, it's a great thrash disk, that really captures the metal genre at it's highpoint. Unlike today's metal, bands like "Flotsam and Jetsam" didn't sacrifice things like Lyrics, melodies, bass lines and so much more that seems to be missing from today's metal scene. Sure, they brought the heavy, but it was still accessable. Give a listen to the titular track, and you'll agree that these guys had talent, and made the most of their debut disk. I'm still amazed "Flotsam & Jetsam" were never able to reach the heights of fellow thrashers "Slayer" (I guess losing your key songwriter and bassist didn't help), but if you are a fan of thrash, you owe it to yourself to pick this disk up.
Is the review positive or negative?
