Review - :
On this 1977 album, {$Nazareth} makes a full-blooded return to the {\hard rock} sound they had neglected since their success with {^Hair of the Dog}. The result is a potent, driving slab of {\hard rock} that will please {$Nazareth} fans and devotees of 1970s hard rock alike. The album sets its frenzied tone right off the bat with its title track, a blistering rocker that features {$Dan McCafferty} spitting out a sharp-edged vocal about life's cruelty over a series of fast and relentless guitar riffs. The remainder of the album prominently features a similarly brutal string of rockers: standouts include {&"Revenge Is Sweet,"} a paean to getting even that combines chugging guitar riffs with a stomping beat, and {&"Gimme What's Mine,"} a fierce declaration of dominance that layers {\Southern rock}-styled riffs over a churning bassline. Despite this preponderance of hard rocking tunes, {^Expect No Mercy} isn't just a guitar-fest. It also takes time to explore {\country-rock} (there is an excellent, rocked-up cover of the {\country} standard {&"Busted"} as well as a {\honky tonk}-style original called {&"Place in Your Heart"}) and even a little bit of {\funk} (a hard-grooving slice of {\funk-rock} fusion called {&"New York Broken Toy"}). The album never takes the daring stylistic chance within the {\hard rock} formula that distinguished {^Razamanaz} or {^Hair of the Dog}, but this is minor quibble in light of the album's high levels of consistency and quality. In short, {^Expect No Mercy} is a treat for {$Nazareth} fans and a solid listen for any hard rock fan who wants a good indication of the group's style.
