I was asked by a very close friend to review this in the most serious manner possible. Thankfully, I can't take anything seriously so I'll make this the most entertaining review yet. Why Danny? Because YOU NEED TO CHILL OUT!
I loved Total Brutal. Yes, it was indeed gimmicky, but it was a solid modern thrash record with some great guest soloists. Double Brutal doesn't change much but this is a band that relies on spontaneous songwriting and therefore needs to be ONE UGLY MOTHERFUCKER! Double brutal is many things, it's thrashy, it's heavy, IT'S A FERRET, and it connects with my inner film buff.
The premise may not be as fresh as it was two years ago and the cover songs lack the punch that they were intended to have, but Double Brutal still packs a punch. But in an autumn this crowded with quality releases, a silly, fun thrash album like this doesn't leave much of an impact. If it came out only a few months earlier, then it would come highly recommended, but I simply can't give this album the high score that it tries to achieve when there are so many better albums being released right now. Hasta la Vista Baby
7/10
