The Accüsed - Straight Razor

(Nastymix Records, 1991)
Okay, almost done with the Accused reviews. I might have to come up with a new, more random way of doing things here, because when I get to someone like Anthrax or Megadeth that I have thirty zillion CDs of, things might get a bit tedious. Anyway, this one's going to be a lot quicker, because it's an E.P. Here, you have two songs and a live version of a third song from Grinning Like an Undertaker, (and this includes two of the very best songs from that album, for the record) one song that's on the next album, Splatter Rock, that I'll get to soon, and only three real, exclusive tracks found here. Two basically sound like songs from Grinning..., with the title track being particularly good, and the third is a way sped-up cover of "Saturday Night Special" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, that's everything we've come to except from random covers by The Accused. So yeah. Nothing too new or exciting, but it's pretty good.

Track Listing:
1. No Hope for Relief / Close Insight
2. The Corpse Walks
3. Straight Razor (Going for the Throat)
4. Down & Out
5. Saturday Night Special
6. Blind Hate / Blind Rage
7. Voices (Live)
