Review by Ben for Sodom - Agent Orange (1989)

Agent Orange is a solid thrash album from these German legends, but it's nothing amazing. The title track is killer, that's for sure. There are a bunch of other tracks that are enjoyable too, such as Tired and Red and Remember the Fallen, but just as on Persecution Mania, there are a couple of tracks that let the album down, stopping me from calling it an absolute classic. Ausgebombt, while being a fan favourite for some reason, is extremely simple and not very interesting at all. The final track and cover song Walk Away is terrible. It's completely out of the spirit of the album and just not very well performed.

All up I'm going to give Agent Orange a generous 4. I don't see it as the masterpiece of thrash that others do but it's an entertaining release that's worthy of some attention.
