A hell of a punch, but questionable aim

Review Score: (8/10)
WFO starts off with "Where it Hurts". That's what Bobby and the crew are best at--hitting where it hurts. Overkill has been a long-faithful band that never succumbed to the temptation to go mainstream. On this record, they show that they are just as capable of anger, hostility, and brutality as they ever were. Though they've learned some new tricks over the years, they are the still the same carniverous animale they ever were. I think that, after the impressive first cut, they wander a bit through the first half of the CD, but from "Under One" on, this disk KILLS. "Gasoline Dream" is one of my all time favorites. Oh, wait, so is "Bastard Nation". The acoustic segment is a nice rest for the ears, which take a heck of a pounding from the bass-laden, drum-heavy mix. If you're a fan of classic thrash, or have liked Overkill in the past, go for this one. Excellent in the car, or when someone's ticked you off and you want to smash their face in. Cheers, Overkill.
