Favorite Abattoir record

Seems like everything I read or hear about these two albums has everyone knocking the only safe place as being kind of a dud compared to the debut 'vicious attack'. I listened to both again today and I think I like vicious attack much more then I did originally, which is your favorite?

Went for vicious attack, simply because it is the only abattoir cd i own. And it is really good. These guys are still around?

The second album is more commercial for sure.

I don't think they are up to anything new, a few members are in Anger as art though.

I love The Only Safe Place. Great album!!! And that's not knocking Vicious Attack at all.

The Only Safe Place is the only one I own and heard, so I'm not voting. But it's a damn fine album in my opinion. I tried to find a copy of Vicious Attack for the longest time and eventually gave up trying.

I haven't heard either Abattoir album in dog years so I couldn't even tell ya.

It's funny that this thread popped up tho, cuz just this past weekend I was at my brother's house lookin' thru his CDs and he owns the Century Media reissue of Vicious Attack...when I saw that, I even said to him "Damn, I haven't heard this band in forever." haha.

Everything I'm coming up with still puts in in the $20-$25 range, which is over my spending cap. It's no biggie. Sometimes you just get over certain things. This is one of those times.

I did however listen to The Only Safe Place this morning though, inspired by this thread. $\'arry \'eadbanger$

Hell yeah! Abattoir ruled in the 80s. Used to have a track on the MM 4 comp vinyl. Good times, good times........

Well, hell's bells. I'm listening on YouTube. I didn't know they covered 'Ace of Spades' on their debut. That just put Vicious Attack back on my want-list.

This is different vocalist too, right?

Yep, Steve Gaines. Juan Garcia and some other dude got replaced for Only safe place, also.

You twisted my arm, Stender. I ordered a copy of Vicious Attack from Locky. Hopefully it won't take forever to get here.

i had reviewed these albums as apart of my USPM month on my YouTube channel.

but i voted for f*cking Vicious Attack, damn good album and Steve Gaines is one hell of a vocalist. hell even Juan Garcia adds something to the overall vibe, giving it that Agent Steel feeling.

The Only Safe Place i tried to get into but i always come out cold, yet i like that style of Speed/Power Metal but for some reason i feel like they did not reach the level of greatness as Agent Steel's Unstoppable Force wich at times are similar in sound but Abattoir i think fell flat. it's a good album but kinda bores me in places. just me.

From the Ashes/Evil Incarnate is a killer album and deserves proper release, as well.
