Gack

Arguably this album should simply be filed under Laaz Rockit, as this short-lived incarnation was simply Laaz Rockit renamed. Though successful in the late eighties, the early nineties were not as kind to the Rockit, as several lineup changes had ensued, and their 1991 live album, Taste Of Rebellion, was recorded without much fanfare in Japan. Four of the five members on that album decided to make one last go of it, but felt that a name change was necessary. Thus, Gack came into being, the album Fix was recorded and released (like Rebellion, in Japan only), and the band dissolved soon afterward. Fix does have a thrash base, but it is a fair bit different from previous LR material, as it's a bit more rock/groove oriented, slightly darker in tone, though a pretty decent effort in its own right. Most of the original Rockit members came back together in 2005, relegating Gack to historical footnote.
