Piledriver – “Metal Inquisition / Stay Ugly”
Gimme a C! Gimme an H! Gimme an E-E-S-E-Y! What does it spell? PILEDRIVER!! If you are “hankerin for a hunk o’ cheese”, then this CD should satisfy your most undying urges. I thought piledriver was a machine of some sort, but after listening to this CD, I am convinced that the definition of “piledriver” is “Hemorrhoid chauffeur”. The vocalist sounds like he has hemorrhoids. Okay, I am just being nasty here, but come on! I am getting a bit tired of this current fascination with the “good old days” of metal (these albums were originally released in 84 and 86 respectively). Maybe I’m just too young to appreciate music that sounds like this, or maybe I’m just not hip enough. Whatever the reason, I do not like this CD one bit. If you want to listen to old metal, get something that really is worth a second wave of popularity, like Iron Maiden. Forget the two bit wannabes like this.
