PAIN KILLER (aka PAY IT BACK IN METAL) finds Krokus honing a brasher, hard rock sound that is more focused than their first 2 albums. While their Swiss brand of hard boogie rock is more aggressive here, it still isn't quite pounding enough to call heavy metal. "Killer" is a decent song and there are some other strong tracks towards the end of the record ("Deadline", "Pay It" and "Bye Bye Baby"). Their single "Susie" almost sounds like an American Southern Rock ballad, which would seem to be an odd influence for a Swiss band. In some ways, this new sense of focus on hard rock is less interesting than their earlier experiments, even if does possess a greater urgency and polish. Chris Van Rohr's vocals are adequate here, but they definitely needed someone a bit more compelling...
