Rrröööaaarrr is a purely thrash metal album. As if the album name wasn't metal enough, just look at that album art! This is thrash metal to the core. Very fast paced, held together with thrash beats, and lots of double bass with blazing guitar solos sprinkled throughout.

There are some interesting things I noted about this album: The bass work is pretty good, and for thrash metal there is very little tremolo picking. Instead most of the guitar work are chords instead of pure tremolo picking. I rather like it. Gives the album a kind of frantic feel to it.

My personal favorite songs are: Slaughter in a Grave and Ripping Headaches.

However, while is a thrash album with some intriguing playing, it does sound a bit uninspired at times. The vocals are honestly pretty bad. The sound quality, (though for me not an issue) is not too good.

Overall, fast. Lots of thrash, double bass, face melting solos but also some interesting stuff for a mid 80's thrash metal band, if you really listen. Decent album.
