The 1986 Listening Post - Whiplash - Power and Pain

Whiplash - Power and Pain


#19/1176
January 31 1986
Whiplash
Power and Pain
Genre: Thrash
4.5 out of 5

Highlights:

Thrash doesn’t bring me…joy, per se. When it’s great, though, I can appreciate it. Most of them time it feels like noodling for the sake of. 30 minutes is the perfect amount of time for something like this cuz it wears itself out after right about that amount of time. But really that’s the genre. For some it all blends together into one sound. For me, that’s about every other song. Then I key back in and my brain melts and I find myself air guitaring in my underwear in the kitchen. 
But…
YMMV.
