Christmas in July! Two legendary 80s bands back with their new offerings: ZER! Or almost. I must admit the Gastunk leaves me... disappointed. As a total fan of everything they released previously, this new album is a bit weak. They still deliver the hard rocking groove they evolved after their classic initial punk & thrash sedimentation, but this is much less juicy, less captivating than Mother or the immense live albums from the 90s. Maybe the album is too long with too many fillers. A couple of great songs with the Gastunk trademark, but the rest is mostly average... Not bad, but I expected to be thrown out of my chair. Which happened with the monumental Jurassic Jade. This one is a complete winner, a treasure of absolutely perfect JJ crossover thrash. I am tempted to award it  the "best Jurassic Jade album" gold medal, but that must be the excitement of novelty. Advanced writing, perfect delivery, maximum energy, superb production, great artwork, no idea about the lyrics. Awesome thrash metal and much more! Makes me as wet as the latest Shellshock. Brilliant from beginning to end! Triplazering Jurassic Jade maximization of the wicked!

    2. Hi João, I have some stuff from The Ex if you're interested (3 albums actually, including an amazing split with Tortoise). Tell me what file format you do like most (flac?)...
