How does a group follow up a celebrated and movement-changing debut record without simply creating a record similar to the first? Easy, if you're The Exploited. You simply move the music forward. Again. After their seminal debut, Punk's Not Dead, The Exploited bring punk rock music closer to what would become speed metal and crossover-music with Troops of Tomorrow. This album is so full of energy and kinetic street-wise anger that the result is nothing short of a masterpiece. Troops of Tomorrow explores ideas about metal by focusing more on complex guitar work and longer songs; however, it's the Oi!/hardcore punk foundation that defines this record's delivery. A tour de force for every fan of punk-though maybe not for the faint of heart.
