Free Music Review: Cool, but pointless
Hit: 2 Stars
Devastation's "Signs Of Life" is a good example of an average 80s thrash album. It has all the necessary elements to succeed, bar memorable songwriting.
This is the album's fatal flaw; it's really hard to remember any of what you've just heard. The first five songs are all enjoyable while you're listening to them, but it's not until "Tomorrow We Die" that Devastation finally realise how to write a memorable song. The slower, headbanger-friendly "Fear Of The Unknown" is also worthy of a mention, with a cool riff that repeats itself a few times and sticks in your head. The remaining songs are just a blur of speed and squeeling solos. ("Escape To Violence" is so fast that it's almost ludicrous)
Despite it's flaws, however, this album is a lot of fun to listen to. A `thrash cheeseburger', if you will.
While I can't really recommend a person to purchase this album in the current metal climate, with so many good releases out there, I would at least recommend you to listen to the three songs I mentioned. Or just skip forward in time to Idolatry...
