Had to throw my two cents in here.

Ohh Crickey ... was a landmark metal/thrash/humor debut from a handful of wackjobs from overseas covering everything from Kim Wilde to Motorhead plus 20 originals in between of complete madness and playing precision.

Return of ... was on okay sophmore release for the band releasing some more of the same.

Then came BILLY. This should not have even come out under the name LD and must have been nothing more than a contractual obligation. LD completely changed their sound where they became OFFSPRING clones and created poppy punk. This album sounds absolutely nothing like the LD from the first two albums. This one should have a warning sticker on the cover about the change in musical direction for a metal label to put this out.

I purchased this album when it came out and I was extremely disappointed; now that I'm older I'm revisiting a lot of music to give it another chance...this is one of those that still sucks! Earlier stuff was great.

Fast, Ramonish type songs, but they slow down for "I need to be your MAIN squeeze", I could almost hear Joey Ramone singing this one... then they start to sound a bit like sham69 on "Buddy Holly Never wrote a song called we're to punk" They cover Squeeze with "Up the Junction" fast! guess I like this song no matter who sings it so long as it's fast... This band covers well. Funny short dr. demento type cover of purple haze ends the album just before you eject it...

First of all I'm not a fan of punk music. This album has alot of punk like influence but I happened to enjoy it because it's catchy. Good songs, guitar riffs, drums and a decent production of what I can remember. This band was fairly decent during their short lived existence, all their albums were totally different; it's almost like you were listening to a different band on each album but you could still tell it was Lawnmower Deth.
