It's true. Killer (sorry) album though it is, this and the debut are pretty much rife with bad-boy/on the run/serial killer songs. The band wouldn't really develop any sort of real talent lyricwise and start to expand their subject matter until the next album, when Harris really let loose.

I'm gonna be a real tool (what else is new?) and ask why, if you were going to do both albums, you posted Killers first? No reason, just curious. Especially as you posted them within minutes of each other.

The Identity Matrix 07-25-2017 12:18 PM

Because I'm posting albums as I listen to them, or at least I'm supposed to. I listened to Killers on June 11th and then the debut on the twelfth. I don't know what drove me to listen to Killers first, but I did so I posted it first.

How the **** is "Killers" only an 8/10 track? 11/10 at the very least.

Fair enough. I assume this is not the first time you've heard either album?

Down with that. "Killers" beats out "Innocent Exile, Genghis ****ing Khan, Murders in the Rue Morgue" and "Wrathchild", rips out their spleen, eats it in front of them and then tears their head off and ****s down their neck. Superb song. Di'Anno at his most unhinged and unfettered. Shame on you, Matrix! :nono:
