Overkill - Ironbound thread

Sounds like the digi is the safer of the two formats. Just going by what everyone said.

I just don't get it. I don't really like this album. I didn't really like "Immortalis" either. In fact, I haven't liked anything from Overkill since "Bloodletting". Ah....frustration....

As for "Ironbound", it's good, but nothing is memorable. Not a chorus, not a riff....nothing.

I think you're right. Let me take it off you hands and dispose of it properly.

Give me a tradelist.

Let me see what I can scrounge up over the weekend. The list is a little sparse at the moment, but I've got a few discs that have been in the "trade or keep" pile for too long.

Really? I've probably listened to this CD 30x already and I'm still not bored with it.

I'm seeking an overkill advise. I own the following albums: Horrorscope, The years of decay, WFO, i hear black and Ironbound. I'm looking forward to completing my collection. Which albums would you recommend me? I need something aggressive, stinkin' heavy...

My faves (of the ones you don't have already) would be:
FEEL THE FIRE (1985)
FROM THE UNDERGROUND AND BELOW (1997)
NECROSHINE (1999)

...awwwww hell, just get everything they've done. It's pretty much all good.

I like the album but it's not their best...

So far, the only track I heard was the single they released. Does anyone else think the riff sounds a little like Metallica's 'Hit the Lights'?

Under the Influence is a must IMO.Also,From the Underground and Below is heavy and dark.

Start with: Feel The Fire, Taking Over, Under The Influence,, Killbox 13, Bloodletting ... then work your way through the rest.

I got Feel the fire earlier today. Spent the rest of my day listening to it.

Got my copy of IRONBOUND in the mail yesterday from Amazon. Just gave it a first spin and there's no sign of the annoying static background noises that others have described. Guess I got a good one.

The problem has been fixed. I received a corrected CD copy in the mail from the record company.

This CD will make my Top 10 for 2010.

He's right,you really can't go wrong with Overkill (I'll add BLOODLETTING as a standout too). I still need to get IRONBOUND though.

I just listened to this for the first time. Momma! I can't wait to hear the album that beats this for me for top album of 2010.

Get them all, you really can't go wrong..The new album Ironbound is awesome. Just got my vinyl edition the other day cool

i caved & bought the "bring me the night" picture disc on ebay today! got a relix & immortalis one, so might as well keep it going. (got the killbox regular vinyl [not a pic disc] that came w/ the band member cards awhile back as well.)

"Bring Me The Night" is the most memorable track on here, catchy as hell. I'm also partial to The Green And Black. The only thing that bugs me about the record is the overly-processed kick drum sound.

After having the MP3 tracks since the leak, late last year, I have finally got the CD . I sourced it from Russia on ebay (genuine copy), and it plays in the computer perfectly. No scratching/static sounds or related issues. Awesome stuff!

When I listen to this album, I really have to fight a compulsion to just start growling and smashing everything within arms reach and then some.

If you can't just embrace/get pumped up by the pure, blistering fury of this album; can't feel some iron-hot molten metal start to boil in your veins; if at 3:02 of The SRC you don't have the urge to start stomping your feet and just jump out of your chair and bellow along "Sink it deep! Sink it deep!" ...

...check your pulse. You might be dead.

I'm not one of those to argue about 'the best' -- I'm not going to provide any dissertation track by track. However, in my opinion, from the foreboding opening intro to The Green and Black to the stomping finish of The SRC -- I find the album to be nothing sort of pure heavy metal "fun".

I like the first two songs. But not sure about the others yet.
