I’ll raise your average!

In the meantime, congratulations on the choice, no duplicates, so well done. The review is good too. I can only say that I bought it on vinyl at least 15 years ago and I've always liked it. The sound is dirty and not compressed like the following one, so it almost seems like a hybrid; however, it's hard to classify it. I don't think it can be defined as one of the most thrash examples in their catalog, but I don't want to be pedantic... but yes, let's call it thrash as well. Sometimes you need to listen to the music more than describe it, so all good. Bye!

I remember a video on Televenezia of Neil Young from 1979, that for sure. I liked that song, but I don't recall which one it is. Great review anyway.

Welcome back Tepes, a sort of summary of Death Metal; I belong to the category of "old-timers" who only remember the major Death names (Death, Deicide, Morbid Angel, Pestilence, Obituary, Suffocation, and the usual suspects). Of course, I know who Benediction are, but when I read your references, comparisons, and mentions of other bands like Accidental Suicide (never heard of them) and Incantation, I realize I'm an amateur. I recall a great interview with Benediction in Negative from 1994 where they also talked about their friends Bolt Thrower. Ouch, so many years have passed and I'm getting soft: I've only heard two or three songs by Benediction. But mumble... mumble... it could be that NeKro is right about Barney. However, isn't the first Benediction album "Subconscious Terror" from 1990, by any chance? Well, I'm losing it, but congratulations on the review anyway!

So Claudio, you deserve a 5 for bringing this album back to life (I have it on vinyl with the nice inner photos of the band members) even though it was done by Antonino91. Just think that I consider "We're gonna Groove" one of the best songs by Led Zeppelin, so much so that I've set the first 20 seconds as my ringtone. You can tell you know Led Zeppelin well, one of the greatest bands to ever exist. It seems to me that on "Walter's Walk" you can hear in the background a riff that's also present on "Hots On For Nowhere", but I might be misremembering. Cheers and congratulations!

Bad Company...I know who they are but I haven't heard this. Anyway, well done!

ahem...to the wolf!

Thank you, Bartle. Now I’m waiting for your non-metal review: you absolutely have to be daring! I miss your reviews a lot, I’m sure you’ll do great. See you next time, then, and break a leg!

Oh, so many comments, thank you all so much. On Televenezia in 1979 they aired videos of Foreigner, Knack, Nicolette Larson, AC/DC, and even Led Zeppelin (All My Love), so these were my first listens. Essentially, I remain a fan of Heavy music, but I can also describe a few Pop albums fueled by passion. The Knack are never remembered by anyone, like Zoetrope in Thrash, or like Mike Vescera's Obsession in Metal, so it was time to talk about them a bit. Johan Edlund, leader of the band Tiamat, said in 1994: "Anyone who claims to listen to any kind of music is a fool." Well, I don’t entirely agree; just look at what Cynic and Pestilence produced in 1993. For me, it's easy to describe something I'm truly passionate about, but I know what my limits are (many). For example, I love Grieg's "Peer Gynt," but I'll never be able to describe it as it deserves. Hello to everyone!

Oops, I didn't vote for the album!
