Query: Not bad, but not the best

The Exploited without a doubt have to be one of the legendary punk bands of the 80's. They have managed to chuck out a whole mess of awsome recordings from 1979 up until 1993. In my opinion the best Exploited material came from Punk's not dead, Troops,Let's Start a War, Horror epics, War Now, Death Before Dishonour, Jesus Is Dead and The Massacre. Not to say that Beat THe bastards is a terrible record(there are some good songs on it) but it doesn't measure up to the old stuff. The sound is too metally and Wattie Sounds like he's barking into the mic. In my opinion this record sounds more like a Pantera then the Exploited. My advice, Buy all the old albums first.
