The 1986 Listening Post - Racer X - Street Lethal

Racer X - Street Lethal


#7/1164
January 1 1986
Racer X
Street Lethal
Genre: Speed Metal
4.25 out of 5


Highlights:
Frenzy
Street Lethal
Y. R. O. 

Right off the bat, you know what I like about this? They know what they are. They have a song called “Y.R.O.” which means, Yngwie Rip Off. I mean, come on. Gotta give em red for that. 
Also, it’s shredtastic. 
I didn’t much gravitate to this stuff when I was of age. But I loved Ozzy and Maiden and the like at the time. As I turned more and more to alternative music, partially due to a deep desire to be “hip”, I never returned to metal. One thing I’ve come to learn through this project is how much I really like it when it’s great. 
And this is great.
