Overkill-Taking over(my review)



Overkill was only on the way to the top. They were finding themselves where there were their roots. It was very important. Impulse was to play hard and fast.
But Bobby wasn't singing sharp. He sang brisk and very clean. He didn't scream like a razor yet. But was a very loud siren that breaking the walls.
Overkill created heavy, great melodies with clean vocals. They were unique in that. The sound is tasteful, especially the guitars has a very attractive sound. Lyrics are in the style for Overkill typical but not very. Majestic and admirable performance for this second album.
But Overkill didn't reach the top fully.

The first song is "Deny the cross" which is a very important part of the album. That melody is unique. Bobby sings and then screams in refrain. Bobby makes also a great atmosphere in the song.
"Wrecking crew" is an Overkill's anthem with really awesome, unique refrain.
"Fear his name" and "Use your head" makes another step to the best way. "Fatal if swallowed" has a very catchy melody and refrain.
And the way to the best is "Powersurge" with fast riffs, vocal like a siren, crushing refrain, solo. One of the heaviest songs on album.
"In union we stand" is like Overkill's another anthem. Great song and refrains.
And the best is here. "Electro violence" is the hardest, fastest on album. Wild, angry, merciless, unstoppable violent tempo, solo, vocal. The hell in the album.
Album ends with a mysterious song "Overkill II". The intro is a similar to "Who tends the fire". Catchy melodies, vocals, refrains. Bobby makes a very capricious atmosphere with his singing. The end of "Overkill II" is similar to the beginning of "Overkill III". Overkill created a good end of the album.
