Speedealer: Second Sight
(2002)
by Bruce
On Parade
from Vanguard Party 2.1 (October
2002)
Ever played Tony
Hawk Pro Skater 1? Well, this band was on the soundtrack. They
did a couple of songs that got run together to give you enough time
to skate.
Speedealer works
for their keep. On the road an average of 300 days each year, they are
every bit as good live as they are on this record, the bands fourth.
Fucking intense as ever only this time the screaming is diminished and
they sound like Metallica should.
If you have ever
heard Speedealer this record is nothing like the other three and takes
a great deal from the production of former “Metallicat”
Jason Newsted. He may have been embarrassed by the
action of the crybabies, but he seems as sure as ever that they had
the right idea as too what metal should be. The album captures Speedealer
in the catchiest moments of Metallica, err umm, their glory.
These guys have
put out four albums and its time the world realizes what’s up.
Look for a free sticker around. If you ask “The_Uncle_Myke”
for one he’ll give it to you, he has a stack of them. Hell he
likes them almost like he likes his Motorhead.
