The more things change, the more they remain the same.
Now, if there are two things that usually signal a band with little inspiration, it is the decision to release an album of covers or rewrites of its ancient material, then Attackthe decision to combine the two in Origins of aggression It must sound high alarms like thunder. However, released to celebrate 40 years since its complete debut Hell powerLike this, Attack Take listeners on a memory trip without relying on nostalgia to sell the experience.
Divide into two albums (assuming you are not * sigh * streaming!), The first is a chronological re-gravated execution by leaving the band from the 80s and is largely weaker of the two albums, while the second contains a series of covers that the band would play and Jam in the early days, and is the most interesting of the two. Why is the first one the weakest of both? Well, it fits into the same traps that many albums have reaped, namely, negotiating with youthful energy and LO-Fi charm for a more accurate and barren version. I thought a long time ago with the idea of making an article about rewritten albums, as they usually fit exactly in this same trap; That said, I would be inclined to classify Origins of aggression As one of the best examples, given that he falls on the top of the bodies of all who tried and failed before, so that it does not fall so far in comparison. How does this avoid this destination? The facts of grew updated and, well, aggressive production AttackThey are good; “Fighting the beast” seems so powerful that you can't help but have fun, while “Angels of Death” has a bombastic sound that has its own appeal.
The second album is where Origins of aggression It gets interesting; while some options (like Motörhead“Iron Fist”) is obvious, when the band plays curved balls like Killer joke“Wardnce” and GBHS “Give Me Fire” that arouses interest. Depending on what you are looking for in a cover (a reinterpretation of existing song or direct copy) will determine how much you like, but there are some decent tracks to be found here, boss among them “a new tomorrow,” thanks to Perry's explosive thums in the mixture and just sounding like a thunder. However, Attack Highlight a very common edition of metal bands that covers punk music as Dead Kennedys“” Vacation in Cambodia “and Sexual pistols“Holidays in the sun” (I'm feeling a theme here), because their focus on making it metal completely ignores and erases the sarcastic and sarcastic delivery of the originals.
The only constant weakness on both records is Garnett's vocals, suffering the same traps he made in Antichrist generationNamely, its delivery is one -dimensional and monotonous after a while. Although not discouraging, it does not raise the tracks for the same merit.
Like a bonus album, there may be worse ways to celebrate a milestone in a long and successful career; Origins of aggression It will keep your hunger again for a while for a while before the band (I hope sooner or later) produce your next full original album.
