bonded by blood feed the beast cd

alright. i got this last summer (i'm behind the times i know) and i really like thrash so let's delv into this. bbb are a local band from la and i may know some friends of the band. i'm fucking connected! haha. anyway first thing i have to take issue with is the name. bonded by blood is one of my favorite albums and the only exodus album i'll likely ever listen too. the album is as perfect a metal album as you can fine. so why the fuck would a band be named after something unbeatable? it's part of that retro movement that i hate so much. sorry bbb but you'll never be as good as exodus. it's like if i formed a speed metal band and called it metal on metal. i really wish they'd change the name. anyway into the music. strange mix on this. reminds me of anvil's plenty of power in the mix. sounds to digital to me. i'm not one of these people who always wants a professional mix (i listen to hardcore punk afterall) but the mix is just strange to me. also the singer gets a bit annoying after a while. it sounds like he has no control over his voice and is tone def. d.r.i already did that thank you. it's worse on the second album and i think he's out of the band. maybe i'm just an old man (ha ha) but his voice is a bit much sometimes. the music is pretty kickass thrash. about what you'd expect from an earache band (btw when the hell did earache start signing all these thrash bands? i remember when they were a punk label) not bad at all. i'm a thrash fan so i like this kind of stuff but some of my older friends won't touch it cause they see it as retrothrash. i'd have to agree with that but i like it anyway. doesn't sound too much like exodus to me (they asked for it cause of the band name) hahah. get this if you enjoy thrash with an anoying singer. then get d.r.i's post-1985 albums and compare who's more anoying?
