I'd say the only negative aspects of Thrash Zone is that some of the tracks tend to run together a bit. Many of the songs on Thrash Zone have awful lyrics, but they're so funny that you gotta love 'em. You Say I'm Scum is a song about metalheads and skaters, Labelled Uncurable is about AIDS ("I shouldn't have scored that chick!"), The Trade is about rockstars, and Abduction is about the abduction of children. The lyrics are best on songs like the aforementioned Thrashard, You Say I'm Scum, Labelled Uncurable, The Trade, and Abduction. have some of the stupidest lyrics known to man, but I love them. Also, his solos are pretty nifty too.ĭ.R.I. His riffs are so good that he could crush someone's bones with them. Also, Spike Cassidy is a very underrated guitarist, like many other thrash guitarists like Gary Holt from Exodus and the guitarists from Testament. However, he is different from Tom Araya enough to have a unique voice. I don't know why I like the man's vocals so much. On earlier albums, he sounded like a punk version of Tom Araya, but on Thrash Zone, he sounds like Tom Araya. I always laugh when Kurt Brecht shouts out in his incredibly rough voice that members of the crowd are acting like an "indian from outer space drunk and high on weed.". It's fun while you're doing it, and it hurts like hell, but you don't notice the pain until the next day. Thrashard also has some great lyrics, about the effects of moshing. The song will start off at a million beats per minute, and then out of nowhere, it will slow down drastically, and nearly as soon as it slowed down, it will pick up speed. This is one of the things I like about Dirty Rotten Imbeciles. After the first verse, things slow down, and a new riff starts. The song is about the band going to a gig and the crowd moshing it up. Ferocious drumming, speedy guitars, and gruffy vocals are all phrases that can describe Thrashard. The opener, Thrashard, begins with a crushing riff, and then it all starts. One thing you will find out from the very start of the album is that this album is fast. Many only acknowledge the band's first three albums and dismiss everything else as garbage, yet that is far from the truth. Thrash Zone is an often overlooked album in D.R.I.'s discography. changed their style to an all-thrash sound. did this, many other bands like Suicidal Tendencies and Corrosion of Conformity did this as well.
After the group began to listening to groups like Metallica and Slayer, the band changed its style on the 1987 album Crossover, and with this album they coined the name of a new genre called "crossover thrash", which was a cross between hardcore punk and thrash metal.
could put out quality stuff as a thrash group?ĭ.R.I, also known as Dirty Rotten Imbeciles, started off their career as a hardcore punk group, similar to the Circle Jerks and Black Flag.
