432.0. "Nuclear Assault" by MILKWY::SLABOUNTY (Save a tree, say no to FF's!!) Mon Apr 30 1990 12:53

    
    	I can't get into these guys at all.  While the music has a
    	good thrashy groove, the vocals just ruin it for me.
    
    	To each his own, I guess.
    
    	The high point of the "Critical Mass" video is the appear-
    	ance of Jessica Hahn.  Wow.

432.1one of my favorite bandsBINKLY::MINARDITruth and SoulTue May 01 1990 09:4313
    re.0
    Yeah right... 50 pounds of silicone gets me excited too.
    
    I love Nuclear Assault! They're a talented band, probably my
    favorite thrash band. I think the vocals are a riot... 
    
    Their latest "Handle with Care" got good reviews from critics...
    it's loaded with great tracks.
    
    The vocals were a bit much for me at first too Shawn, but the
    band grows on ya.

    listen to them all the time!  They are a great band!!!

    I just got "Handle with care" this weekend and it's great ! Heavy punch
    and vocals and very good sound. I like the singer very much. He's in
    the same vein as Annihilator's Randy Rampage, really very heavy
    vocally.

    I really like the "Handle with Care" tape.  I just saw these guys
    last week and they put on a great show.  Also very cool dudes to
    meet in person.

    Re. Kim
    
    If you like Nuclear Assault (including vocals) you'll shurely like
    Annihilator's "Alice in Hell". It's even more violent but still
    extremely precise and clear.

432.6RAVEN1::JERRYWHITEJoke 'em if they can't take a ...Tue Jul 17 1990 07:524
    Yeah, Annihilator is tough !  "Welcome To Your Death" is my favorite
    tune, besides "Alice .."
    
    Scary
432.7KETJE::VLASIUTue Jul 17 1990 07:584
    Excellent one, but also "Human Insecticide" and .. all the CD.
    "Handle with Care" is also well balanced.

    I've been thinking about picking that up for a while now.  Since
    you recommened it, it can't be that bad. (jk).  I'll have to add
    that to my collection. Thanks - Kim
432.9"Not a new born band"KETJE::VLASIUTue Aug 21 1990 09:2318
    Re. Kim
    
    You will be not disapointed by "Alice in Hell" album, I don't express
    yet a definitive opinion on their last ("Never neverland") because I
    founded it less impressive than "Alice..".
    
    Now back to Nuclear Assault, I listened these days the following:
    
    Game Over + The Plague (EP) - 1 CD (58mins) excellent
    Fight to be free (EP) excellent
    Handle with care - yes, still excellent
    
    I have to listen with the next occasion Survive.
    Very good band ! Slayer, Anthrax and Testament are good but I prefer
    by far Annihilator, Wargasm and Nuclear Assault in the same category. I
    still look for other similar bands.

432.10SurviveKETJE::VLASIUThu Jan 10 1991 11:298
    I listened few weeks before "Survive". It's in the same style with
    "Handle with care" (a little bit less heavy) and also excellent. The
    only objection I have is the 32 minutes length of this full priced CD.
    12 songs with the top being "Fight to be free" and including a good
    cover of Zeppelin's "Good times bad times".
    Recommended (if you like Nuclear Assault).

    Presumably this band will split up,seeing that the main man Danny
    Lilker had formed Brutal Truth.
    
    golly gosh,i wonder.
