Second and final album for 'Tysondog' and it's more of the same uncompromising British Metal that was exhibited on 'Beware of the Dog'. The only slight differences from the debut, is they have ditched the occasional gloomy 'Venom' undertones that could just be detected and overall increased the tempo, now hammering on the doors of Speed, Power and Thrash Metal. The only change to the line-up sees drummer 'Ged Wolf' departing to 'Atomkraft', entering the fray in his absence is 'Rob Walker'.

After a stormy instrumental intro, 'Taste the Hate' assaults your speakers Speed Metal style, heavier than anything on the debut, but still retaining control and precision despite the increase in tempo and ultimately is an excellent opener. Not quite so brisk but still dealing out plenty of power is the pulsating 'Don't Let the Bastards (Get You Down)', the chorus is perhaps lacking as it takes some of the sting out of the song, but still sports plenty of solid instrumental work. Better still is the energetic 'Blood Money' a catchy and energetic rocker which rides on the crest of a cracking rolling riff and all told at times recalls early 'Metallica'. The fine run continues with 'The Machine' an uncompromising rocker which highlights more fine work from the rhythm section of 'Kev Wynn' and 'Rob Walker' whilst 'Carrauther's' delivers with conviction. A cover of 'Alice Cooper's' 'School's Out' ensues and while you're always on shaky ground covering a well established song like this, 'Tysondog' make a very respectable job of it, the guitar solos are impressive, while 'Carrauther's' vocals work surprisingly well. The second half of the album isn't quite as focused or consistent as the first, but the opening cut 'Street Thunder' is still a passable affair, lyrically a little crude but musically it's top notch with some blazing 'Hunter' fret work. Less impressive is the rough and rowdy 'Hotter than Hell' which relies heavily on a disappointing chorus, while 'Judgement Day' is an improvement with it's strong basslines and sharp fret work. The last pair are also a mixed bag, 'Eat the Rich' is lyrically light, but saved by excellent guitars from 'Hunter' and 'Burdis', while the final cut 'Smack Attack' is real dose of Speed / Thrash Metal that gallops along with purpose from the off and ends the album on a high note.

Overall a better album than the debut and a real shame they broke up after this release, as I think they at least deserved another crack.
