This just kicks. If there is one heavy metal band that i'd want to get back together. THIS IS THAT BAND!!!! The riffs, the vocals, the bass, the drums. THINK MAN! what more could you want. If you are a true metal head you would already have this in your collection. If not, Then you must ask your self. AM I A METAL HEAD? DO I LOVE DRIVING RYTHUMS AND IN YOUR FACE VOCALS? if you said yes to eather of these. THEN BUY THE CD. The group did not last long, But there music will last a life time and then some. My Kids like this as well as I do. You will not be disapointed.

Wow! I have to get this CD. What a blast from the past. I remember having "Rock You to Hell" on cassette in 1988 and wearing it out. Couldn't get enough. Some memories disappoint, but not this one.

Great album,the sound quality is the best they ever had,the songs on the previous albums were good but the sound wasn't as thick as Rock you to Hell it's just too bad they stop producing anymore music, Great Band!

I don't know what happened in between their first two cd's and this one, but this one is so much better it's like a whole new band. All the songs are good with high quality production, cool lyrics, and of course some of the best singing of any hard rock singer.
If you can only get 1 Grim Reaper cd, get this one. This is better than the first 2 and it's also better than their greatest hits cd. To me, this is their greatest hits cd.

Love Grim Reaper! Steven Grimmet vocal God! He goes all out on this one. High production value overall. Queensryche meets Ac/Dc is a sound that comes to mind. The songs will have you banging your head and screaming along from the first listen.

While I have to stick to thinking "See you in Hell" is thier best Album, "Rock you to Hell" is thier second. The sound is in my opinion very 'overproduced' and lacks the 'raw' sound from "See you in Hell" amd "Fear No Evil". However, the songs on the otherhand are pure Grim Reaper

I think that "Rock You To Hell" featured Grim Reaper's best songs, which goes a really long way towards respecting this band. Sure, this record is produced towards the hair-metal crowd, but that was basically this band's gist anyway. Grim Reaper were simply an Iron Maiden wanna-be band in essence. They had nothing to do with thrash and even less to do with death metal. Without a real style of their own, they came off as a slightly rougher Iron Maiden cover band, and after this album (probably their best song-wise), Grim Reaper just stopped their existence and faded into history. But they were not bad, in fact they were one of the best in what they did. If there ever was a truly worthwhile hair metal band, it would definitely be Grim Reaper.

I have to confess that like Beavis and Butthead I used to make fun of pudgy Steve Grimmett and his cohorts in the heavy metal band Grim Reaper. If any band could out-Spinal Tap Spinal Tap, it was Grim Reaper, of "See You in Hell" and "Fear No Evil" fame. I've come to love this band over time though, and it's largely due to the fact that - pure metal cheesiness aside - these guys were really good. Grim Reaper knew what metal was all about in the `80s, and they were gloriously un-self conscious about it.

Originally released in 1987, Rock You to Hell was Grim Reaper's third and final album. It's also the toughest of the three Grim Reaper albums to track down. The album gets started with an unforgettable metal anthem in "Rock You To Hell" and it's all fist-pumping, head-banging heavy metal mayhem from there. "Lust for Freedom," "Rock Me Till I Die," "I Want More" - hell, nearly every song on this album rocks you (to Hell, naturally). "Suck It and See" is the one track that's still too embarrassing to enjoy, but other than that you have to love an album as unabashedly metal as Rock You to Hell.

I'm not even going to tell you to look past the cheese, because it's part of Grim Reaper's appeal. I'll just say that before you dismiss the band, you give their music a fair chance. You might be surprised at how good it is. I'd absolutely recommend Grim Reaper to any fan of British metal, the NWOBHM scene, or classic `80s heavy metal in general.

I have been looking for this on cd for a long time,listened to it in high school and LOVED it.Grim Reaper is one of the best metal bands in history,this album is right up there with Maiden and Metallica.

What can I say...i got this on cassette and have tracked down copies ever since to satisfy my desire to hear it again. This is traditional old school style rocking metal..no doubt way cool. every traditional metal fan should have this thing. I listen as I type....so nice.
