[.ca] Rock You to Hell

the best heavy metal album ever:
Steven Grimmet's vocals are compared maybe only with Vince Neils or Bret Michaels. This album has rocked me time and time again. What I love so much about the Reap is that they play these songs and tell you the listener to interpet them as you wish. So I have and will start with Track 1 (Rock You to Hell). This song to me is about the trials and tribulations of being in the chess club in high school and how the highs would be knocking off Vladimir Kosokev in the finals and the lows being getting beat up by the punter on the football team. Track 2 (Night of the Vampire) is about a vampire at night that is cool with being in the sun as well. Track 3 (Lust for Freedom) is about wanted to be locked up and tickled to death by a crab. Track 4 (When Heaven Comes Down) only bad track on the album-they tried to sound like Dokken's When Heaven comes down and could not quite hit it. Track 5 (Suck it and See) is about sucking the heads of a crawfish at a boil in south Louisiana and the see is the stuff that comes out. Track 6 (Rock Me till I Die) is about Rocking to life and the highs and los of living. Track 7 (You'll wish you were never born) is the only creepy song of the record cause it reminds me of my childhood when Uncle Remus used to beat me up. Track 8 (Waysted Love) is about finding out that my love for Milky Way's was dashed by the allergic reaction I encountered. Track 9 (I Want More) leaves you saying that exact thing. This album rules.

It's Grim Reaper:
While I have to stick to thinking "See you in Hell" is thier best Album, "Rock you to Hell" is thier second. The sound is in my opinion very 'overproduced' and lacks the 'raw' sound from "See you in Hell" amd "Fear No Evil". However, the songs on the otherhand are pure Grim Reaper

Great album:
Love Grim Reaper! Steven Grimmet vocal God! He goes all out on this one. High production value overall. Queensryche meets Ac/Dc is a sound that comes to mind. The songs will have you banging your head and screaming along from the first listen.

Final, and best:
I think that "Rock You To Hell" featured Grim Reaper's best songs, which goes a really long way towards respecting this band. Sure, this record is produced towards the hair-metal crowd, but that was basically this band's gist anyway. Grim Reaper were simply an Iron Maiden wanna-be band in essence. They had nothing to do with thrash and even less to do with death metal. Without a real style of their own, they came off as a slightly rougher Iron Maiden cover band, and after this album (probably their best song-wise), Grim Reaper just stopped their existence and faded into history. But they were not bad, in fact they were one of the best in what they did. If there ever was a truly worthwhile hair metal band, it would definitely be Grim Reaper.
