See you in Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllll!!!,

This review is from: See You in Hell / Fear No Evil (Audio CD)
Perhaps best known for being so thoroughly ridiculed on MTV's Beavis and Butthead (a fate they share with Winger), New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) latecomers Grim Reaper was completely and unabashedly "metal" in a way few other bands could touch. Their lyrics were cheesy, their performances were melodramatic, and they never quite looked cool enough, but you can look past their Spinal Tappishness because Steve Grimmett and company were just...so...metal.
This nifty 2-on-1 contains the band's first two albums - 1983's See You in Hell and 1985's Fear No Evil - in their entirety. That's a whopping 17 servings of pure metal cheese, including metal anthems See You in Hell, Dead on Arrival, Never Coming Back, and Fear No Evil. There isn't any bonus material, but the sound quality is pretty impressive, especially considering the rough quality of the original recordings. Sadly, the band's 1987 album Rock You to Hell is not as easy to track down. Hopefully one of the reissue labels (Majestic, are you listening?) will dust that album off and get it back in circulation. How else are we going to hear the sublime Suck It and See? You can try to avoid it, and you can attempt to write them off as too cheesy, but sooner or later everyone needs to have some Grim Reaper in their metal collection. Sure, the clerk at the record store may snicker, and you'll probably have to hide the album from any potential romantic interests, but what do they know about the glory of metal anyway?

At this price, their two best albums together. This is a must for any "true" me-tal fan. Fast clean guitar work, screaming coherent vocals, and awesome lyrics. And they can even stretch their chops with a jazzy feel on 'The Show Must Go On'. Better buy it before they're all gone. Pleasent dreams.

the best of both worlds,

This review is from: See You in Hell / Fear No Evil (Audio CD)
grim reaper's best two albums all on once cd...how they id it i'll never figure out...theres a reason they didnt combine their 3rd and final album with fear no evil or see you in hell...because it [was bad]]! the title track was all it had going for it...these two however, are classic...see you in hell's production sounds slightly muffled but if can get past that, and you will,you'll hear and appreciate what awaits your metallic eardrums...my favorite tracks are "see you in hell", "fear no evil"," matter of time", "never coming back","liar","wrath of the ripper","final scream","r&r tonight",and the ballad "the show must go on"...you're obviously familiar with grim reaper or you wouldnt be bothering reading this review, so what are you waiting for? this kicks major maximus, so order a copy before they disappear!
