On the Prowl 마이클베쎄라 vocal당시 self - cover한 곡들을 의미있게 감상하기 위해. 1집부터 재감상 - 정주행 시작.
그런데 1집부터 정말 쌩 Heavy Metal로 시작했네. 이 분들이 Slayer 선배임.. 마이클베쎄라의 vocal은 나의 고향과 같지만 미노루만의 고음역에서의 미성이 가미된 서정미 있는 vocal도 좋아하기에. 오히려 이 조합이 일본스러운 오리지널리티가 있다고 생각함.
어렸을 때 발라드. So lonney ~~너무 좋아했음.
동양의 해비메틀의 역사를 시작한 앨범으로서의 공로에 공감하여 90점 쏘고감~

Decent debut from one of Japan's earliest metal bands. These young guys proved they had a lot of potential here, but it's still rough around the edges.

80년대 헤비메탈 스타일과 J-Metal 스타일이 어설프게 합쳐져 있는 라우드니스의 데뷔앨범. 너무 설익은 느낌이라서 별 감흥이 없었다. 2번, 5번 두 트랙의 솔로는 들어볼 만 하다.
