Razor is one of the weirdest thrash bands in existence. It is almost as if the members had moods, or bipolar personalities. They released much of their catalog in less than a decade, yet never before have I seen a band with so much lottery-like randomness when it comes to song-writing and production quality. It is like flipping a coin. Good album - bad album. Well produced - badly produced. Open Hostility is somewhere in between. It has a decent production (much better than Shotgun Justice, weaker than Decibels) but the songwriting is rather uneven. This is textbook thrash metal with 0 experimentation. Just relentless, fast-paced thrash but with few noteworthy tracks. Not much filler material either, it is just that bland and good parts are scattered throughout most of the tracks with In Protest, Sucker for Punishment and Free Lunch sticking out of the bunch.

Hands down: "Sucker For Punishment" is one of their best songs to date. The riffs are badass, and the venomous vocal performance and audible bass add to the brutality. This statement also applies to the album as well. It doesn't have as many highlights as Shotgun Justice, and the drums (while programmed well) lack an organic feel to them, but the album is backed by a dense production and is full of heavy, exciting riffs.
