When I was a kid, my stepfather had this cassette sitting
out and I remember even at seven years old staring at the artwork and thinking;
this is awesome. Of course, it would be years before I actually listened to
"Annihilation Principle", but when I finally did, I remember it being
just as awesome as I thought it would be all those years ago. The first thing I
was drawn to was Michael Coons' vocals. They are as unique as they are fun the
listen to, sort of like Brock Lindow of 36 Crazyfists (no I'm not comparing the
vocalist, the band nor the genre, just they they each have unique
characteristics). The guitars are the driving force behind the music hear.
Compelling riffs that engage the listener right from the get go and solos
(albeit nothing earth shattering) allow for nice transitions within the songs.
Among Laaz Rockit's discography, I would say this is my favorite and probably
the easiest one to listen to for those may be trying to expand their thrash
databases. Definitely recommended.
Highlights: "Fire in the Hole" "Chasin'
Charlie" "Holiday in Cambodia (Dead Kennedys cover)" "Mob
Justice"
