Dissappointing

(3 out of 5 stars)

"After seeing Speedealer when they still had the REO in their name, I was hooked on their hard driving Zeke crosses Motorhead sound. Their first two albums, unfortunately now out of print rocked, and Here comes Death I feel is their best album yet, so I was realy looking foward to the new release. I felt if it was along the same lines of their past album, it could help them break through to getting some airplay. Unfortunately it was a big dissappointment with no stand out songs and a more commercialized sound that is pretty bland for these guys who I know have it in them to blow away all of todays so called heavy bands. I think maybe Jason Newsted was a mistake for producer, come to think of it Metallica was all down hill after he joined up with them. All in all it is worth a listen, but if you are expecting something like their outstanding older songs like Viva La Vulva, Dealers Choice, or Absinthe you'll be let down too."
