There are a few bootlegs around but they have 6 tracks instead of the original 4 and have a low sound quality.
Plan of Attack Review
A side
“Don’t let go” is the tremendous beginning of this album, with a lament of guitar and a leisurely rhythmic base while it seems that Glen Dobbs tells us a legend of those that are transmitted from generation to generation.
The guitar solo manages to give greater transcendence to the theme, creating a perfect mystery scenario, crossroads, as if you have come this far because you have earned it, no one has given you anything. And attack the guitar solo again.
John Dobbs is one of those guitars that I get. He’s not a great technicalist, but he transmits, he’s a fabulous effectiveist. He manages to get sensations into our bodies with his six strings in a prodigious but straightforward way.
“Unleashed begins” not to change the tonic, with the echo of a guitar degreasing a riff that can be placed among the best of all time, of those that stay in your memory, and then you whistle down the street without realizing it.
Only by those chords is it worth having this disc as gold in cloth in our display cases. But this is much more; we get into a theme that alternates the fast rhythms with the pauses, the choruses with the prophetic voice of Glen, to lead to an epic guitar solo where there are, of those that make you ride on the battlefield no matter how numerous the enemy, drum roll and all to the load.
The theme of the record. It is convenient to go to the bathroom before listening to this song to not do it on it.
B Side
“Live free or die” is a theme with a live rhythm, ideal for carrying your backpack on your shoulder and going out at full throttle, fleeing the hellish world around us, with Glen Dobbs releasing ballast with tension as if all the demons of hell were chasing you.
“Black siren” starts sinisterly, with a rhythm and grim guitars, and of course, Glen’s peculiar way of singing contributes even more to giving a sinister tint to this song, like a horrible fate awaiting us, a black shadow that awaits us in a back of the road, the black siren.
This subject is more caveman and darker than the previous ones and, in that sense, reminds me of a lot of the Cirith Ungol. The tap is colossal and apocalyptic, very in tune with the song. The song is extinguished with the wails of Glen Dobbs, who seem to be suffering from a real torment, excellent performance.
