Reading this review and your thoughts that it sounds dated for 1986, I think you should have taken into account that it was recorded in 1984 and shelved a good while before release.

Re: Post-NWOBHM steel from UK
Now that you mention it, that does sound familiar. Still, those 2 particular songs probably sounded dated already in1982
Not that there's anything wrong with with 'dated' per se (I'm pretty dated myself) but they're also the weakest moments of the album imho.

Re: Post-NWOBHM steel from UK
I like this LP and that song a bunch but I really think the full on punk/oi LP "False Gestures for a Devious Public" they did right before this was the absolute best they did and one of the best UK82 punk LPs. Its a great mix of Oi, Motorhead and 79-81 era stuff by The Damned. Really great band all around though. Still very good live.

Re: Post-NWOBHM steel from UK
Is Tysondog post NWOBHM? I always thought that Shoot to Kill 12" ep and the LP Crimes of Insanity were pretty under rated

Re: Post-NWOBHM steel from UK
Well that certainly got me curious, but after finally finding some clips I was a bit underwhelmed...
"Cranium" was pretty cool, the rest a bit too ...off?

Re: Post-NWOBHM steel from UK
IMO the 12” EP and the LP I mentioned are way better and more consistent than the first LPDaN wrote: ↑Tue Feb 22, 2022 5:01 pmYeah they would fit.

Not bad thrasher that ARBITRATER. Picked it up about 10 years ago reasonably cheaply iirc.
This and their 2nd "hyper-rar" album were re-released on a double CD package a few years back, so no need to sell your kidneys in order to acquire it.

Great cover illustration on that Arbitrater LP, very nicely done.

DaN, regarding missing insert/innersleeve feature, the later was not available, or you weren't able to scan it yet?DaN wrote: ↑Tue Mar 22, 2022 9:33 am Time for some underrated UK Thrash. Review:

Always loved this Post-NWOBHM demo by Playn Crazy from 1990 :
"Do you like Wenom?"

(..and no, I know I use to joke about this, but this time it WAS there all along)
EDIT: Wait! Did you mean the innersleeve? No, I didn't scan it since it's rarely missing - it's mostly the actual insert that's the problem in these cases.
