Yes, here comes the praise, again. Bonded By Blood is simply one of the greatest thrash
metal albums of all time. This release truly defines what metal should
be with its relentless delivery and attitude. Shit, don't get me started
on the "attitude" that this album possesses. I don't think I've ever
heard a metal album in my life with as much of that as this one. It's an
anti-social, rude, violent and in-your-face collection of songs, and
fuck, I love that. For a while back, before I had listened to this one,
I'd heard and seen the amount of praise this album has been given over
the years. Now I didn't instantly write it off, but I thought "how could
it be THAT good?" Releases such as Master Of Puppets and Reign In Blood
have been given a crazy amount of praise too, but to me both those
albums are pretty overrated (no, I didn't say they were "bad"). I
finally had a listen to Bonded By Blood after hearing how good it was.
I'm glad I did. What an insane album. With such an over-the-top, almost
comical sense of violence, but also a dark one, its hard not to enjoy
this. The album is just relentless. Its also full of cliches, but heavy
metal cliches never hurt anyone! This album is so consistent that all of
the songs are thrash classics, but songs such as "Piranha" or "No Love"
are just insanely evil and fun. I've really enjoyed the early thrash
albums as they've usually had a lot of NWOBHM influence, and this one is
no different, many of the riffs are very "classic metal"-like. The
production is a bit weird, but cool. Paul's vocals echo heaps, which for
some reason I enjoy. The guitars are a little thin, but the riffs still
sound utterly brutal. The drums sound rather nice too, again kinda loud
and in-your-face. Ladies and gentlemen, put on your leather and studs,
it's time to kill some posers.
