Vader
Live In Japan
[Zyx Music/System Shock/Pavement]


Now I do like the older Vader stuff, but after "The Ultimate Incantation" they did sort of become a bit to boring and polished. Anyways live albums what is there to say about them? Vader play with as much skill and perfection as they are known for, the sound is great and quite energetic, I'd say perhaps even better suited for them than their later albums productions has been. Live albums can be ok but they are usually somewhat superflous, and while it quality wise can rank up there with "Decade Of Agression" or "Entangled In Chaos", they will never replace being there, they can never capture the same feel. Overall it's good if you like live albums and you like Vader, if you like live albums but don't know Vader but still enoy that genre, this isn't bad either. But in the end it's just a live album so who cares?
