ASSASSIN - THE CLUB
THE CLUB OF HAS-BEENS.
When you first look at the album cover it looks like a club for old washed up thrasher's that have reunited to do one last thing together before going back into retirement, Wait! that might just be the case here and not just what I have imagined this album to be.
Upon the first listening you feel instantly disappointed, If you're going to reform a classic thrash metal band, please take it seriously and not just go into the studio one afternoon after having a couple of beers and record it without any thought going into it. This is putting their early career in bad light when the band releases something as uninspiring as this. The production is so low-budget that it must have been an independent release cause no label would be interested in releasing a mess like this.
The lousy punk vocals by Robert Gonnella sticks out as bad and unsynchroniced. It's one of the worst performances I've heard in a long time. The music is also uninspiring on all levels and at times this feels like the worst type of crossover thrash with very basic punk-sounding riffs.
It feels like you're 40 and going to a high school party filled with youthful energy and some shitty punk band plays their songs in the background while a couple of drunkards trying to singalong. While you being the only sober person there you ask yourself what the hell happened and why am I listening to this bullshit? That's what The Club is to me. It's a half-assed attempt to bring back past glory but it ends up being one of the worst comeback albums of any legacy thrash bands that have reunited in recent years. Avoid this one.
