so awesome. they’ve put out the best thrash of the last ten years.
WOW!!!!!! Now THIS is what I expected from this new album. This song is KILLER!! Can’t wait until my CD arrives!!! GO OVERKILL!!!
how could such a talented group put track 1 on this,n call it song 1.xdm is 49 seconds of nothing.zero,guys if your gunna use an intro to a song,ah,make a damn intro,overkill intro.this intro is nothing,should not be given a credit,as song 1.album is great.skip xdm,its pointless,fill/trash/elevator music.
I’ve listened to the entire new album. It’s great! The only “complaint” I have is despite being a great bass player, DD is too loud in the mix again.
DD’s bass tone is one of Overkill’s calling cards. He plays so tight and badass, right there with the guitars. I would complain if he WASN’T loud and up front in the mix.
I agree about the bass being too loud. Yes DD is bad ass without a doubt but I’m a guitar player so the bass is too loud haha.
I’m a guitar player to, have been for 35 years. There’s only a handful bass players I want to hear that loud. Geezer, Steve, Geddy, DD, are in that group because their bands wouldn’t sound the same without their bass being up front. The production Overkill has is so good, every instrument comes through loud and clear.
I was never a Overkill fan but this is great music and the new CD is relentless. I’ll have to go back and listen to 16 other platters now.
Start with the last one, The Electric Age, then Ironbound. I would say just keep going backwards but you have to hear classics like The Years Of Decay and Taking Over.
