Album of the Week #23: Tank - This Means War (1983) -- 35th Anniversary

It's not a case of knowing who is wrong or right, now get out there boy and fight

Your fathers gladly walked half way 'round the world for you

One thing they overlooked and it's just one vital fact

They didn't realize that we'd come fighting back...

Just like something from hell

What this is:

This is a discussion thread to share thoughts, memories, or first impressions of albums which have lived through the decades. Maybe you first heard this when it came out or are just hearing it now. Even though this album may not be your cup of tea, rest assured there are some really diverse classics and underrated gems on the calendar. Use this time to reacquaint yourself with classic metal records or be for certain you really do not "get" whatever record is being discussed.

These picks will not overlap with the r/metal AOTWs.
