Released to fulfill their contract with Combat, Good
Friendly Violent Fun was released after their major label debut (Impact
Is Imminent) but contains songs from the second and third albums. The
majority of the album is from Fabulous
Disaster with five songs off that album. The album was recorded live in
San Francisco when Exodus was on tour in support of their then most
recent release Fabulous Disaster.
The sound on this album
is what gets to me. The band sound so damn good that I cannot help but
shed a tear that I will never see them live. Exodus, live, is like a
machine that is doing its best to stay within the realms of its own
limitations while threatening all the time to careen out of control and
explode. The Fabulous Disaster Tour saw the debut of John Tempesta who
went from drum tech to Charlie Benante of Anthrax to drummer for
Exodus. The songs are all quite brilliant and it would be
pointless to go over them suffice to say that there is not a bad song
on this album. The only disappointment for me was that there is not a
single song from Bonded By Blood on this album.
If you are
an Exodus fan then chances are you will already have this album. If you
have never heard Exodus, then start with Bonded By Blood. If you do not
like Exodus then your father was right, there really is no hope for
you. You may as well jump off the top of a building or something.
