4.0 out of 5 stars Seminal Bay Area Power Metal, April 22, 2005

Like much of the music from this period it may not have aged as well as it could have, but...I saw this band play many times in SF; they were a powerhouse draw and were playing power metal at the height of the immediate post-Van Halen period when Motley Crue were the heaviest thing around. Metallica opened for them in SF, and they were doing Priest-style metal (with the over-the-top stage show to boot), when it wasn't particularly cool. The twin guitar work blew away most of the playing from this period, and if DVD were a medium then their live shows would be legendary. I think this band and Exodus were the first real "mosh pits" I encountered. This is a a terrific representative album; great riffs, smoking leads.

this album was more a good transition to heavier music from their older cds but the new eq tech. definetly improves the albums sound abit making it even sharper than orinaly recorded and the live dvd in dynamo 86 is all older harder to find matterial from their first two albums.and none from this cd.

This review is from: Know Your Enemy (Audio CD)

this cd is a real turned corner for the band they changed from a power metal band with LA glad looks to speed metal and heavy hooks.laaz rockit had a trange start but alot of the old songs are real good and blend in to the newer stuff live.this cd laaz puts their best foot forward and draws in alot of new fans and has a new record company to promot them better and they co headline some tours with some great bands and headlineded in europe and play dynamo to a huge crowd and on alot of the rereleased old cds even this one you can hear the crowd support.I think they recorded the show for a future live cd that they never released.this cd is not full blown thrash yet but the got they speed and chops to evolve still.
