Free Music Notes for Doomsday for the Deceiver

Free Music Review: One of the most underrated and overlooked classic 80's metal albums
Hit: 5 Stars

Flotsam and Jetsam's debut album fell under the radar to most during the 80's heavy metal music scene due a lot of big names, but I was aware of it and still consider it a classic of the era that still holds up today. The band was talented and creative, and Jason Newstead's influence was a catalyst to the album's success. It is a shame that his talent was minimized by Metallica - he left F&J for the chance of a lifetime, but it seems like Hetfield and Ulrich could never get over Cliff Burton's death and never let Newstead shine because he wasn't Cliff. When Jason left Metallica, Hetfield and Ulrich took a hard look at themselves and chose to be more open with their other bandmates. Anyway, Newstead's bass playing is fantastic (and clearly heard in the mix), and the dueling guitar riffs, talented drummer, and Erik A.K.'s vocals are strong and he can really bring some intense screams - all bring firepower to "Doomsday".

The album starts out very strong with "Hammerhead" and its catchy vocals, then "Iron Tears" which is another solid song. "Desecrator" and "Fade to Black" are ok; the latter is definitely not a remake of Metallica's "Fade to Black" and is very shallow lyrically. "Doomsday for the Deceiver" intro starts out with a unabashed rip-off of Motley Crue's "God Bless the Children of the Beast" but settles into a dark, acoustic segment before roaring into the main riff. It is a pretty cool song; the lyrics are always a little cheesy, but effective enough. I'm a big fan of "Metal Shock" and I love Newstead's bass solo in the middle followed by the dueling guitar riffs. "She took an axe" is the true dud of the album - skip it. "U.L.S.W." is another lyrically weak song worth skipping, but "Der Fuhrer" is a strong song, and the album concludes with a solid instrumental in "Flotzilla".

Flotsam and Jetsam jammed on this album, their music was strong; some of the lyrics were weak, but I still rank this album with 5 five stars as an underrated masterpiece of the era.
