Perhaps Fight found their identity with a familiar name; if not that, it must have been a very weak writing style they used for each anthem they ever conjured. These demos share such a trait as each number demonstrates a single instrumental pattern for sixteen tracks: one beefy thrash riff, one percussion texture, predictable vocal patterns, and Halford yelling the tune's title at the chorus. Sure it works for a few instances, but it isn't very fun hearing easy stuff like this over and over again; not quite what I was expecting, honestly. Halford sounds fantastic as usual, yet all that magic only seems mildly invigorating when added in with sixteen musical designs for sixteen songs, which really nails this release in a very sensitive area.

Now it's quite painful enduring such blank instrumentation, yet there lies another spy in a house of top-ranking government officials: the definite validity of these demos. For example, you'll obviously notice how clean and crisp the overall production is, as there isn't any dirty or raw audio features in sight; it's probably been polished a bit, but you're still unable to feel that filthy rareness found on other prototype tapes. If you weren't spoofed by that, then prepare to find not a single difference between Fight's first CD and this genetic clone that only looks different from its title and artwork. Everything is basically the same with minor exceptions, yet even those small outtakes don't show what a heap like so should reflect; taking common slabs of material and calling it another entity seems a little aggravating, especially if you're expecting something special. Nothing against K5: The War of Words Demos, but it's rather trivial to release these demos and advertise it as some idolized collection because there's hardly any differences between this and what their full-length debut has to offer.
