The All Music Guide adds. . .
Think '80s theatrical metal, and bands such as W.A.S.P. and Motley Crue
immediately come to mind. But right up there alongside these names -- albeit
lesser known -- was Lizzy Borden, a gentleman who modeled his character and
stage show after the great Alice Cooper (an obvious clue being the
similarities in their respective names, eh?). However, out of all the
aforementioned bands, Borden was probably the most metallic (as evidenced by
such releases as 1985's Love You to Pieces). After taking the '90s off (a good
move -- the group's brand of metal was an anomaly in the wake of grunge, rap
metal, etc.), Borden returned once more in the early 21st century, resulting
in releases such as 2007's Appointment with Death. A concept album (which
deals with the subject of...death), Appointment with Death is vintage Lizzy
Borden -- melodic Iron Maiden-esque metal, vocals comparable to Bruce
Dickinson and Rob Halford, and so on -- especially on such selections as the
title track, "Bloody Tears," and "Tomorrow Never Comes." Add to it guest
appearances by several renowned '80s metal names (Dokken's George Lynch, Y&T's
Dave Meniketti), and even a modern-day metal titan (Trivium's Corey Beaulieu),
and you have an album that stands up well against Lizzy Borden's vintage
releases.

Ripper's Notes:
After ripping the remaster of this album, I figured why not do a side by side
and compare. To my untrained ear, Abnormal does sound a little better on the
remaster, and the CRC values are different, so it does appear to be a genuine
remaster. Lizzy took another 11 years after this album before his latest,
and 8 years have now passed since this one. Hopefully there will be more to
come in the future.
If you chose to share this, or any other release, elsewhere, please give the
original ripper/uploader the respect they deserve by leaving it intact and
