Bonded by blood...can't stop listening!!

I bought the torrid recs press on ebay last week and I can not stop throwing it on whenever I turn on my stereo. So many fantastic riffs and rad songwriting in my opinion, oh, and the drumming...god the drumming.. ..I really dont think I will get tired of it anytime soon.

Last time I remember being this excited this much by a badass disc like this was when I first got Vengeance Risings human sacrifice disc.

It's the best thrash debut evah, IMO. Too bad they couldn't make such a consistent album ever again. You're right, Stender. That baby is riff-tastic and addictive!

Excellent album. Riffs out the wazoo! One of the best to be released in those early days of the Bay Area movement.

I differ from Spec slightly. I think their first three were great. Sure, some songs on Pleasures and Fabulous were "meh". However, the rest of the tunes make up for it, IMO!

Don't get me wrong (The Pretenders), I love their first 4, with "Impact" being my favorite. But as a full album, the band was never as consistent as they were at the very beginning.

That I can agree with. Consistency went out the window. Some of the songs from the next 3 to come could easily beat the snot out of a couple on Bonded, though.

I have NEVER heard this album, or any song by Exodus for that matter. They aren't faux evil or anything are they?

My thrash likes only involve Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax. Though I've liked what I have heard from Raven and Diamond Head too. Do you think I would like this album?

I havent got tired of it yet...best bay area thrash band IMO. I would definately get it if I were you. The lyrics arnt really evil perse...just really violent.

GREAT album!!! I wore out my tape in high scool!!!!

Meh,give me Pleasures of the Flesh or Fabulous Disaster any day.I always liked Zetro better.There are some good songs on BBB however.

I thought by the title
perhaps you were refering to this...

Everything is a good song on BBB! Exodus and strike of the beast are a little less interesting, but man I can not get over how much this band shreds...

As for Souza over Baloff...hmm I dont know, Baloff had a real badass thrash attitude delivery a little more so than Zetro I think, so I go with him....Zetro is awesome too though..Toxic waltz is a rad track.

I'm with you, although I really like the new recording "Let there Be Blood".
