As I know so little of Death's studio work, this is
being judged purely on its own merits as a live album. I think I should
point out that this album was made to test the limits of hi-fi speakers
everywhere. When I first played it at a low volume, all I could think
was 'Hmmmm....something wrong here...'. As tight a live act as I could
ever wish for, Death come through in fine style, with Chuck screaming
his heart out for the occasion. It's a fantastic piece of work that really
reminds us what metal is all about. Very difficult to call the stand-out
tracks on this one, although "Zero Tolerance" and "Together
As One" were my personal favourites. Great sound too, not only the
mix, but the sound of a great live band giving it their all.
Make no mistake, this is a bastard good album, and
for me, a proper introduction to a band which shows the biggest and baddest
of them how it's done. Go get it. That's an order.
