This is Laaz Rockit’s second release and a follow up to the awesome City’s Gonna Burn. It’s not until track four and Side 1 close out tune, Backbraker where the band thrash it up like the first album. The first three tunes are just normal, straight ahead metal.
They are considered as one of the top six thrash bands to come out of the Bay Area, and looking at the cover where they are dressed in boutique leather gear you wonder if their egos were getting the better of them. Backbreaker is by far the best track on the record. The other songs are okay, but I was expecting so much more after that killer debut. The other track that is worthy of the first record is Wrecking Ball which ironically, closes out the record.
It’s weird how I still fell the same about this album after all this time.
7/10 from The Grooveman.
