The Exploited
Horror Epics
2.75 out of 5
Highlights:
No More Idols
For a band that never really excited me they really sort of fall flat here. The aggro percussion attack that opens the record belies a lack of interesting ideas and suffers from a deeply muddy sound.
When they fire on all pistons as on “No More Idols” and the blisteringly angry “Maggie” (as in Thatcher”) they remind me of what punk was all about.
Of course, by this time, the scene and the sound was played out but I can’t help but wonder what this would be like if wasn’t produced to sound like garbage.
