Welcome to Rock Music Critic! Check out reviews in the Flash menu above or the static links below. This latest version of the site now includes reviews with an embedded music player so you can listen to whole albums once for free courtesy of Lala.com. Lala doesn't always have an album, but when they do I will include the player. What's easier than listening to an album to decide whether you like it? Feel free to ignore my petty ramblings and just listen to the tunes. That's really the whole point anyway. Up the Irons!! ~ George
Nuclear Assault
Third World Genocide
Nuclear Assault and I go way back together. I purchased their "Game Over" album on LP (you know, the big black CDs.) I have "Survive" on cassette somewhere, but can't seem to find it.
Out of respect for their earlier work I really wanted this new album to be totally awesome so I could trumpet their triumphant return to the scene. Unfortunately, I am unable to do that.
Listening to "Third World Genocide," I had to wonder if they always sounded this bad. So I dug out my copy of "Game Over," threw it on the turntable and gave it a listen. The answer is no, they did not always sound this bad. "Game Over" is a thrash metal classic and even on LP the production sounded better than it does on this new CD.
"Long Haired Asshole," apparently a remake from a John Connolly solo album, is a countrified song that is apparently supposed to be funny, but since I really couldn't make out any of the words, I have no idea.
My recommendation to you, if you want to hear Nuclear Assault, is to check out some of their earlier work.
