Destruction - Live Without Sense

Loud and Proud!!!! - 91%

UltraBoris, March 22nd, 2003

Man, this is how Destruction should sound! The first few LPs had the decent riffs, but the production totally buried them. Here, they play the songs at 115% intensity and they come out sounding completely fucking killer. Here's the thrash break that makes "Invincible Force" totally legendary - here's the definitive version of "Curse the Gods", etc etc.

This must be heard to be believed - if you think you've enjoyed Infernal Overkill or whatnot before... you will fucking die this time. Fear the fucking butcher! Man, those riffs are fucking nuts in "Mad Butcher", "Thrash Attack", all the other classics... and for the first time, with this special offer, you can actually HEAR them! This has the best production of ANY Destruction album, and that includes The Antichrist, which sounds like a three-headed killer wielding a battle-axe the size of the Eiffel Tower. Well, this one is wielding fucking Mount Everest. Fuck France and their pussy ways. Most studio albums wish they could sound this good... every instrument perfectly placed and audible, yet not so overtweaked as to sound completely fake.

"I hope you know this one!" Sure, the crowd agrees, but do they - do they really? They do now! Even the kinda slow plodders like "Release from Agony" move along on this one, mowing down everything that dares oppose them. Fuck yeah, this is where Destruction turns into a fucking riotous riff monster. Their best release, and an eternal thrash classic.
