D.R.I. – “BUT WAIT…THERE’S MORE” REVIEW

D.R.I. But Wait...There's More (2016)

Since 1995, D.R.I. fans have eagerly waited for new material and when vocalist Kurt Brecht announced an EP release for 2016, that audience finally got their wish. Despite the time gap from the band’s latest album, Full Speed Ahead, there was still a demand for crossover thrash in the 21st century. In a year that has Megadeth, Anthrax, Death Angel and Metal Church getting a fair amount of exposure, this year proves that the hardcore genre continues to find a place to stand the test of time.

But Wait…There’s More comes at you at 100 MPH and it’s immediately apparent that the lineup hasn’t skipped a beat. The overall tone focuses on the scheme of television and how consumers are taken advantage of by the con artists on-screen. The EP includes three new tracks and two re-recorded songs from Dealing With It! While this might bother an over-analytical critic, these shouldn’t be seen as recycled ideas. Not only are they both relevant to the subject matter, but they’re also delivered with the same attitude that the band showed in the early 80s.

It’s impressive to hear the group sound so consistent with their last effort from 21 years ago. However, this release was not meant to be compared to previous albums. It’s nothing more than a compilation of aggression that shows that D.R.I. aren’t too old to thrash.

Brecht stated that one of the reasons he wanted to put out new music was to see if there was still a fanbase that was willing to buy a fresh set of songs. Although it isn’t taking the band to world class arenas, D.R.I. are still touring across the US and filling venues while keeping a valid presence in the underground scene.
