A new twist on an old classic.......2007-01-26

I think this is a must have for the average metalhead. The musicianship is outstanding as always for Flotsam and Jetsam. A band that certainly didn't achieve the commercial success that they were very capable of. I have been a fan since the beginning. This, their first release, is fairly raw as far as recording quality, but awesome nonetheless. You can really hear their Sabbath, Judas Priest, and of course Iron Maiden influences in this one. Lots of dueling guitars and harmonys. And Eric "A.K." Knutson's wailing vocals are rivaled by only a few in my humble opinion. The bonus tracks and unreleased material in this re-release are a blast from the past also. They are raw, no doubt, but it is refreshing to hear the beginnings of a band that is still releasing albums as recent as last year's "Dreams of Death". This is an excellent buy, no doubt about it. Bonus DVD also.

An unbelievable reissue.......well worth the small price!!!!!.......2006-12-08

A definite addition to your metal collection.......Flotsam & Jetsam's debut released in 1986 'Doomsday For The Deceiver' stands out as an important album in metal. Not perfectly written and arranged but a necessity for the Flotsam fan. Here we find the origins of (soon to be Metallica bassist) Jason Newsted as truly fronting the band as the main lyricst and spokesperson. Eric A.K. singing out those high pitches, Kelly Smith thumping away with a style of his own and Mike Gilbert and Ed Carlsson trading off solos so nicely.
Most of the tracks are arranged great with two epics back to back 'Doomsday For The Deceiver' and 'Metalshock' that will leave you speechless. But as I've metioned there are some that are not so great. The one that stands out as the biggest disappointment is 'Fade To Black' the shortest number on the album. It sounds like a different band, completely horrible and worthless. And then as the album rounds off it does become generic with the song 'Der Fuhrer' and the boring instrumental 'Flotzilla'. These songs do not offer much to the ear. So with keeping that in mind this album really is only about 4 stars.
Now fast foward 20 years and we have a remixed and remastered edition for the fans. And I must say the hero of the day is the original producer who also remixed/remastered the album the one and only Bill Metoyer. A huge credit goes to him. What an awesome job he did!!!!!!!!!
So disc 1 is the original album with bonus tracks, disc 2 is the remixed/remastered version of the debut(also with bonus tracks) which brings me to where your money will truly be spent. Disc 3 is a dvd which is about 90 minutes long chock full of performances that you would never get to see anywhere else. Old footage of the boys rocking out in various place(please see description). The quality is low budget but that will not matter to a fan.
So get yours horns up and enjoy this beautiful 20th anniversary edition of 'Doomsday For The Deceiver'.

WOW! What an improvement!.......2006-11-30

The new mix and mastering of Doomsday is amazing! It's so clean, it sounds like it could have been recorded this year. I'm hearing things I never noticed before, and this is after listening to the album for 20 years! If you don't have this CD, only buy this version. If you already have it, trade in your copy and get this one. You still get the original with the Iron Tears Demo, and a 2nd disc with the Remix/Remastered version and the Metal Shock Demo. Plus, the DVD is pretty cool. There's a live show from 1985 with 4 unreleased songs, an interview, a cheesy music video, and a picture montage. It's funny to see Jason Newsted with his poofy hair back in the days before he joined Metallica. Hopefully, a remix/remaster of No Place for Disgrace will be ready in 2008 for it's 20th Anniversary.

An Underdog's Best.......2006-05-06

This album was really great for the underdogs of thrash metal back in the era. Hammerhead gets things going and it is just non stop until thier epic title track. I reccommend this album to anyone that is looking to listen to something else rather than your basic Metallica or Megadeth cds. Enjoy!!!!

High Screams.......2005-08-18

This album will blow you away with some amazing high screams.Eric A.K. has the highest high screams in metal along Roberto Tiranti(Labyrinth)ever.There is not one bad song on this album,they all rule.The song Doomsday For The Deceiver will knock you out.This is Jason Newsted's first band,it's a bummer he became dumb to go join crapy Metallica.This is an awesome power thrash album.Get this album and No Place For Disgrace,their first two albums and there only two good albums.

Zander has a point.......2005-04-05

Compared to...oh...Master of Puppets, Reign in Blood, Peace Sells, or Among the Living, this might seem like the worst thrash album of 1986. But let me remind you that...I believe it was Kerrang!...gave this album 6 out of 5 stars, the only album to ever garner that kind of review, at least up to the early '90s! I don't know how anyone can listen to the album's opener, Hammerhead, and NOT fall for it immediately. Sure it's pure thrash metal with very few innovations, save for one Hell of a bassist/songwriter in Newsted. But ya know what? It kicks your ass, period. Doomsday for the Deceiver has everything you'd expect from a metal band, just maybe not in their debut! A 9 and a half minute title track? Not in a debut, baby. F'nJ are criminally underrated, and it's time they got the respect they deserve. Metalheads, pick this up and you will not be disappointed. And as for Zander knocking the production, I have the original pressing for this CD and its guitars sound pretty good, so maybe got another copy of it.

True classic.......2004-04-15

I don't care how old this album is, it is truely one of the classic thrash albums of all time. Jason's bass is incredible, you'd never hear him like this again, Lars and James wouldn't allow that. The songs are simple and lacks the complexity of today's death/thrash bands but still the 1st song Hammerhead would kick the butt of many of them. The only bad thing about it is the vocals are sometimes too girlish. It sounds like you're listening to Poison or Skidrow or any other sh** like that. A great example of 80's thrash to remember how it all started.

Nearly 20 years old and still as fresh as ever.......2003-10-14

Flotsam and Jetsam burst onto the thrash metal scene with this awesome debut almost 20 years ago, and produced a classic piece of thrash metal that still sounds as fresh and inventive now as it did then.

Their only album before Jason Newstead "left to join the girl scouts", to quote F&J themselves :), Doomsday is a masterpiece of riffs, speed, thundering bass and inventive guitar licks. And the drums aint have bad either!

Vocals are less mature than later efforts like Quatro and Drift, but Eric AK was singing for a quite different genre of metal in Doomsday (and it does suit the music very well).

Even after scores and scores of listens, my ears can still find new guitar licks amongst the pace - whilst it may lack the technical complexity of death metal like Nile's In their Darkened Shrines or Cryptopsy's And Then You'll Beg, this album is still filled with excellent songs and is much easier to get into it and the aforementioned albums.

Every track is great - there's no filler on this album. And its a crying shame that Flotsam and Jetsam never achieved the success that titles like Doomsday and Drift deserved, whilst bands like Metallica made a fortune by turning their backs on the genre that gave them a platform.

So where better to start your Flotsam and Jetsam collection than with their classic debut. If you are a fan of later Flotsam albums like Drift, High or My God, then Doomsday will be an interesting change of pace. If you are a thrash fan in general, then you'll simply love this.
