Review

Look, you've seen this band's name, looked at the album cover, and read the title. What do you think you're getting from this release? Bingo! Goofy Crossover Thrash with comedic lyrics and a tongue-in-cheek attitude. Free from the Fridge sounds like the mutant bastard offspring of S.O.D., Nuclear Assault, Gang Green, Death Angel, and even a hint of System of a Down in vocalist/guitarist Nick Coady's whacked-out performance. You could say there's nothing new going on and that the production is very DIY, but then I'd call you a pussy, because this isn't some artsy-fartsy album with anything dumb like sophistication or nuance. No, this is an album you put on after a shit day at work to drink a cold beer to as you get lost in the energetic frenzy of songs like "Slave to the Microwave", "Stretchin' the Friendship", and "Biological Blitzkrieg". Special mention goes to the ass-stomping "Betty vs. Yeti", which is the band's answer to the legendary Nuclear Assault song "Hang the Pope" and every bit as entertaining. A face-melting good time for everyone.
