Grim Reaper - See You In Hell

I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing "SEE YOU IN HELL, MY FRIEND!"

A bit overrated IMO, I cannot see how this is 8-9. Some good vocals, catchy parts, too much repetitiveness, no real hit or killer songs. Easy to listen, easy to like, but hard to find this as outstanding or classic.

I don't think Grim Reaper were ever that important to the growing NWOBHM scene in the 80s, but for what it is, this debut effort is pretty decent. However, it's not really a classic, and there aren't any particularly outstanding tracks save for the aggressive-than-most closer "All Hell Let Loose". I feel that the band lose their musical power in the mid-section of the album somewhat ("Liar" through "Now or Never"), but generally this is a solid effort.

Good album, but like previously stated, no stand out tracks. See You In Hell is fun. I think my favourite is The Show Must Go On.

If only fate had been a little bit kinder to Grim Reaper, they could well have become serious contenders in metal and this is a great album that will remain in the memory of many.

Since Grim Reaper's releasing a boxed set containing these three albums in November 5th, I had to re-listen them just to see if the thing is worth purchasing. Out of the three this one was my favourite in the late 90's when I first found them, in the old times way before this internet culture we have nowadays emerged, gems like this were very scarce and every single one felt so special. These days it's just good, Wrath Of The Ripper is a killer and there's lots of nostalgia involved for me, but nothing spectacular beyond that. I still think Steve Grimmett is a seriously underrated singer.

A very strong album, there are no unpleasant songs, apart from the great guitar and bass work, Steve's vocal performance here is very impressive, his powerful vocals add a lot to the quality of the songs.
I think only Run For Your Life is a little below average, but everything else is incredible. See You In Hell is a spectacular opener, followed by a fantastic sequence of killer songs. This is an album that I can put on any track and I'm sure I'll like it, I've listened to it several times and I can't stop liking it.

I go with T.T.B. Dragon here. So many killer songs on this record. Obviously, the song "See You in Hell My Friend" is a top contender. But "Dead on Arrival" and "Wrath of the Ripper" are also in my top 1000 favorite songs of all time.
Close to masterpiece!
