Power Games

Gotta love on-the-nose album covers – although it begs the question of why they didn’t just stage the photo with actual game pieces. Jaguar played like they were running away from said jungle cat. While their lasting thrash-terpiece “Axe Crazy” came out as a single prior to the record (later printings included it as a bonus track), plenty of meat remains. The most prime cuts: “Dutch Connection” (a tribute to their fervent Dutch fan base) and anti-abuse anthem “Master Game.”
