In my opinion, this is one of Kreator's best releases. But the question is, what is your favorite track on the album?
Mine would be Extreme Aggressions, but Love Us Or Hate Us and Stream Of Consciousness are great also. Enough with my silly opinion, I want to hear yours!
Like Deadmeat, I voted for 'Some Pain Will Last'. Pretty tight and catchy, and the chorus sticks in the mind. I like the midtempo, almost anthem-like feel to it.
There used to be a Metal record shop in Australia called Extreme Aggression, obviously named after this album. I've never been to Australia, but years ago an old correspondent of mine from Aus used to hang around there all the time. I've got a couple of CD's with the Extreme Aggression store's price sticker attached that he'd traded with me. I don't know if the shop's still around, but I would assume not..
"Some Pain Will Last" has always been my fave song from this album, which I have stated a few times on these forums already.
The first time I heard it, was on the VHS "Extreme Aggression: Live In East Berlin", where it is also the opening track. It left an impression on me quite a while before I got the actual album it's on, and when I finally did get it, it turned out to be my fave track on it. The song is mid paced most of the way through, but it has an intense atmosphere, and kicks into high gear at just the right moment for maximum effect! There are other great songs on the album like "Betrayer", "Love Us Or Hate Us", "Bringer Of Torture" and especially the awesome title track, but "Some Pain Will Last" just has that little bit of extra magic that elevates it just above those other songs, and is to me, one of Kreator's most classic tracks. xD
This album is the best Kreator album from their early period. Every song on this album is a thrash masterpiece. Still, I chose Stream of Consciousness as I would really love to see it live. I Saw them live twice, hope the third time they'll play it.
I know Kreator for a long time. First time i saw them in Ljubljana(Slovenija) back in 1987...and from than on Mile&co. works well, or i should say wery well.My opinion about best song on extreme agression is one between Betrayer, Extream agression and Love us or hate us...depends..some song is better live, some in studio version.
