MindKiller Review
(25 November 2023)
The 5th album in their repertoire, this album single handedly broke many hearts, but equally won new ones. 'They have sold out', was the call as the singles released hit mainstream plays. It is a consequence of the general need to feed music fans with something new, a little left of centre. The likes of AC/DC in the hard rock space were a little quiet, so too were the likes of Van Halen who had their share of radio play in the past. Equally the band were moving on from arguably their greatest release, even up to this day. When you think of it, what band would not crunch on the carrot that could provide them with the wealth they couldn't even dream of as a bunch of teens in the early 80's sharing bedrooms etc? Even to this day, there is the old school and new school who start any discussion with 'when Metallica's first release came out in 1991...' OK, let's look at the record itself. Firstly it is different from previous releases, no doubt. If we skip over the singles that opened them up to a wider audience, you uncover some smart songs, not always at full speed, but equally as nasty. 'Sad But True' is the starting point. Mid album you find some fast paced, but very measured songs that still gives us the 'Yeeaahhaa' and 'Ohhww' from Het. My favourites come at the end of the album with 'God' and 'Misery' which finally has Jasonic applying his trade by himself. Final track is what we have expected over previous albums - a fast paced end, which leaves you in thought of it you will ever buy another record from them or not. I certainly did. |
