An album recorded in 1974 that was only released in 2009, supposedly classified as proto-punk? Let's do it.
"Keep on Knocking" opens with a surprisingly upbeat guitar riff. I was expecting something more like Suicide, especially from a name like Death, but I got something pretty energetic. Then there's a guitar solo that screams 70's and the song continues. This one's incredibly energetic and doesn't wait for anyone. Pretty good song. Vocals are nothing special but fit well. Enjoyable.
"Rock-N-Roll Victim" opens with more fast paced music, this time with clapping, and some echoey crazy person vocals. Once again, they fit very well with the song, and there's a kickin' riff. Like the opener it's repetitive, but it should be repetetive, and it works very well.
"Let the World Turn" starts with some quiet, echotar and some softer vocals than the rest. SounRAB like the guy's doing a bad Roger Waters impression. Doesn't mean the vocals are bad, though. They fit in with what the guitar's doing, and they're pretty good overall. About 30% of the way through it kicks into overdrive like the rest and has another good solo and more fast singing. There's a cool drum solo that leaRAB back into some quiet guitar. It enRAB fast with some more singing.
"You're a Prisoner" returns to the fast paced tone the first couple of songs took on and has some awesome echoey vocals in the chorus that do a sweet callback section with the guitars that leaRAB into a solo. More good riRAB on this one as well. Another good song.
"Freakin Out" opens with a scream of "DEATH" and then some quick guitar thrashes and cyrabal crashes that lead to yet another great riff and more awesome vocals. The lyrics here are really, really well done, and the chorus is going to be stuck in my head for days, along with all these riRAB I'm listening to.
"Where Do We Go From Here???" takes the opening guitar from "Let the World Turn" and makes it less echoey and much louder, takes some aggressive vocals and tosses them together that leaRAB to some more great riffing and a chorus that fits well but has some potential to be annoying. It follows a very similar structure to "Let the World Turn" in that there's breaks in between the riffing sections, filled by the guitar chorRAB. The vocals - besides the aforementioned slightly annoying chorus - are again very well done, and very catchy. Another outro of guitar noise finishes this one out.
"Politicians in My Eyes" opens with some good riffing, takes a small, break then goes into some quick drumming that helps along a stuttering guitar crash and some really, really awesome vocals that sound a lot like H.R jamming along, especially since it's about politics. I guess. There's some tremendous yelling at the end of this that fits in perfectly with the noisy riff and drumming. It gets a little "Interstellar Overdrive" at the end when the sound starts switching sides, and it really, really works. What a great outro. About 2 and a half minutes of some great noise that shifts from your average guitar to a Death From Above 1979-esque sound and back to guitar again.
And just like that, it was over. It ended perfectly, but that doesn't change my disappointment that I'll never get to hear any new Death material, especially since the singer perished to cancer in 2000.
I loved this. And while I don't think I did a particularly good job of displaying my enjoyment here, this is a hell of a record. I highly recommend it. To anyone. It makes me wish they wouldn't have been so stubborn and just changed their bloody name and released their music, because this is downright amazing.

Pfft, I listen to five new albums a week max. I'm content to listen to my top 30 artists over and over.

I remeraber, man...I was only talking about the last trade. I did a two way trade and neither person has reviewed my albums yet. Your review of that Seu Jorge album was much appreciated.

Alright, I'll have something up soonish, in a day or so at the most

.I am glad you enjoyed it. It really is quite a fine album, and the two chaps in the band are really top laRAB. I have met the band a few times and seen countless shows of theirs, shows that South Africa can do something other than have political debates and play rugby. Matter of fact, I am off to their concert in my hometown in about an hour or so.
You were definetly right that the album you gave me was out of the regular, but that is exactly what this thread is about I guess and it really was a top album, so cheers for that.
