UMUR
"!!!Fuck You!!!" is an EP release by US thrash/speed metal act Overkill. The EP was released through Megaforce Records in late 1987. It bridges the gab between Overkill´s second- and third full-length studio albums "Taking Over" (1987) and "Under the Influence" (1988). "!!!Fuck You!!!" features 5 tracks and a total playing time of 22:08 minutes. The opening title track is a cover of the Canadian punk band, The Subhumans, while the remaining tracks are live versions of Overkill originals from Overkill´s first two studio albums "Feel the Fire" (1985) and "Taking Over" (1987). Two tracks from each album.

The title track is a flippant punk song with the speed metal snarling attitude of early Overkill. It´s entertaining enough, but when you have live versions of tracks like "Rotten to the Core" and "Hammerhead" to look forward to, it´s that part of the EP which is the most interesting. The live recordings are nicely energetic, raw, and authentic sounding with Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth talking to the audience (as he always does...) making sure they are a part of the experience. The sound quality is decent for the time, although it´s not a high level production job. Upon conclusion "!!!Fuck You!!!" is a good quality addition to your early Overkill collection and a 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
