As I do most of the time when I see bands I don't know on the “to do” list on Metalrage.com, I quickly Myspaced (is that a word these days?) Sadist. I liked what I heard! It was hard, it was loud it was fuckin' rockin' my socks off! As I always do when checking bands out on MySpace, I only listened to small phrases of songs. Normally I check out all the aspects of a band. This time, only God knows why, I didn't. I forgot to check out the vocals and my god…I couldn't regret this more!!!

The first couple of seconds of the beautifully named 'Perversion Lust Orgasm' and other songs like 'Ovariotomy' (How the hell do you pronounce that?!?! I tried, but failed miserably!) are great! Good drums, great riffs, nice bass!! Then come the vocals…I like to think I gave a pretty good description of this kind of singing (Is it even called singing or grunting?) on the Murw review. The sad thing with this vocalist is that he really fucks it all up for the rest of the band, because they ain't half bad, as opposed to Murw, who just totally sucked ass.

Absolute low on this album are the two bonus tracks! Covers of A-ha's 'Take On Me' and the song 'Relax', originally performed by Frankie Goes To Hollywood. I think the originals both totally suck, but these versions are just plain bullcrap! Like I said, great riffs etc., on this reissue (the original was released in 1997) but the vocals do make me advice people to leave this album where it is, and that is away from me!

I recently reviewed their latest effort, self-titled record released this year, and I was pretty fond of it! I'm curious whether the vocals are really way different. It isn't unlikely since Crust was released 10 years earlier. Check out the record Sadist once, when you have the chance

Ok, I'll check it out. I just don't like these kind of vocals! So I hope the ones on that album are different!

Don't hear anything wrong with the vocals; this is just how that genre goes.

You forgot to mention that this album is a re-release. It was originally released in 1997. You should check out the album before this one: Tribe. Different line up, different singer, better songs, much better album!!!

yeah indeed, I was wondering whether you guys were being retards about this... or did he put it in after you remarked this.

Dude, it wasn't mentioned when I first read this review.

I don't even have the authority to change reviews, so I guess the retarded thing is true...

I hide behind the fact that I went along with what Angel said and that I didn't checked it myself! :P
