s.o.d. bigger than the devil cd

remember when people used to comment? man those were the fucking days my friend. well anyway i'm back with another review. after s.o.d (stormtroopers of death of course) recorded speak english or die they did nothing for 14 years apart from some shows and a live album which was okay. well in 1999, anthrax sucked, m.o.d. was doing nothing, and danny lilker had no band. so what happened? these 4 guys got back together and took one more crack at it. well? never gonna be as good as speak english so i won't compare. it seems as though s.o.d. were taking influence from groove metal bands such as pantera or even later anthrax. the resulting album sounds like a tough guy metallic hardcore album like later agnostic front. billy's voice sounds like he's triing to be really heavy and tough and the guitars and bass are downtooned. charlie can still play and overall the musicianship is great it just doesn't sound original. the jokes are still plenty. my favorite is celtic frosted flakes. i do love cf but this song is classic. also king diamond ordering at burger king makes me laugh every time. and the ballads are great. this record doesn't really sound much like s.o.d. as i know them but it's worth at least downloading. s.o.d. will always to me at least be most remembered by the crab society north demo and the speak english or die album but this makes a good adition to anyone's thrash collection. as long as you're not antigroove like some of my friends you'll do fine. now shut up and thrash! and for fucks sake leave a comment! i'm not getting any reaction over here and it's pissing me off. maybe it's a sign though

stormtroopers of death speak english or dye lp

this one's for eric. not because of the title it's because he keeps bashing powerpop. dude listen to it first don't start bashing what you haven't heard yet. anyway s.o.d's first lp after the amazing crab society north demo that i reviewed a looooooooong time ago. just as a disclaimer the title was just thought of to piss people off. even though billy the singer has really dumb politics he's still a good singer. the album is one of the greatest crossover thrash albums ever. it came with extra tracks but those went away so fucking fast. 21 songs only one actually made it from the demo to the album that one being diamonds and rust. pick this fucker up now! oh yeah and it features members of anthrax brutal truth and the psychos as well as m.o.d and a lot of others. so pick it up now!

s.o.d crab society north demo tape

fuck yeah! the awesome demo tape from stormtroupers of death. you know the same band who put out speak english or die. you know the album that made everyone turn into humorless basterds. come on people if you didn't know the album was a joke you need to be hit over the head. and that includes extreme noise terror one of my favorite bands. one of my problems with punk and hc is everyone is so damn serious. i like my music with some humor. that's why i love this tape. it's so bad. recorded by plugging a walkman into some speakers. but fuck if it isn't the greatest crossover thrash release ever! 63 tracks in 14 minutes. and the tracks are all a bunch of jokes. it just rocks. so if you didn't get the joke before and you still don't get it i hate you. anyway you can get this from sodmod.com or do a google search for this. the sodmod version is the best one because it's just all in one big track. however it's in .wma format. so get it and love it.
