Laaz Rockit's third release "Know Your Enemy" is
an energetic fuel thrash album from the era that saw so many bands come and go.
"Know Your Enemy" is filled to the brim with speedy riffs that are
catchy and memorable, something that many thrash bands of that time failed to
accomplish. As usual, Michael Coons' vocals are one of the highlights on this
album as his sound fits perfectly with the atmosphere the band creates and play
so well with the genre altogether. As with "Annihilation Principle",
the main feature here is both the vocals as well as the guitar riffs, which
taken center stage. As a tradeoff, the solos once again play an important role,
but they are not as crucial to the overall sound as the riffs are. Drums seem
to be just along for the ride on most of Laaz Rockit's release, nothing terrible,
but nothing fantastic either. This album along with "Annihilation
Principle" were my first experiences with the band, one that I remember
vividly and as such, would recommend to any metalhead.
Highlights: "Euroshima" "Last Breath"
"Say Goodbye M.F."
Rating: 3.5
