BEST LIVE RATOS

JUAN MARTIN GABASTOU | Weston Hills, FL United States | 12/25/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Incredible 55 min live set from 1992. Unlike the other live RDP album - GBGB, which is a raw soundboard DAT, this one was recorded with a proper pro 24 channels mobile studio and captures the sound and energy of that night superbly. New and current drummer Boka is a machine gun operator that will make your arms sore from air drumming. This record was released at the peak of their thrash metal era but has a lot of good old hardcore thrown in for good measure covering the whole of their career from 84 to 92. Songs are brutal, short, aggressive and in your face bursts of social anger and raw energy. This band is highly influenced by Slayer, Chaotic Dischord, English Dogs and the like but usually innovates over their influences and sometimes put them to shame. This used to be a highly sought after collectors item since it was long out of print up until recently so I;m glad it;s been rereleased. It took me 2 hours of extensive online searching till I found a copy at a small but friendly distro in Finland. Worth every penny."
