It looks as though Mike Muir is the last remaining member from their classic albums. I guess that I will be curious to check that out. I used to be a huge fan back in the How Will I Laugh Tomorrow days.

I agree. Other than the opening track which is absolutely brilliant, this album sounds more like it�s two predecessors than the earlier material by the band. So there�s not much thrash on the album. More punk/hardcore and funk.

...I still think their prime was during their Epic Records stride of albums. From How Will I laugh... to Suicidal for Life... (their debut is brilliant too but I never cared much for Join the Army)

Oh indeed! Although this is the debut and not the new album. The new album "Crossroads" is due out later this year/early next I believe Approve

Per Karlsson is not everybody's favourite singer (and Phillip Svennefelt before him) but I think he's great, love this vocal style.

Oh it�s been a while. I didn�t remember the cover artwork for the debut album looks like that.

Assuming your marathon has completed with "Sacrifice" what do you think of Saxon and, of course, "Sacrifice"?

I think that I enjoyed their most recent albums the most. I would like to explore them further and get more familiar with their songs. I guess the two bands I expected them to sound the most like were Judas Priest and Def Leppard but upon first listen through I didn't really hear all that much that I felt was as good as those two bands. I guess that it was a case of I liked what I heard but my lack of familiarity with them was kind of a detriment. I will see if further listens breed familiarity.

Now:

1st listen
