Xerox Success is the third full-length album by thrash metal band Equinox. It was released in 1992.
It was the last album with Ragnar Westin playing the drums, as he left after its recording.[1]
Reception
Reviews in the mainstream press included several dice throws of 5 (out of 6). These included Nordlands Framtid and a newspaper from the band's hometown, Fredriksstad Blad.[2][3] Bergensavisen was also moderately positive, issuing a dice throw of 4.[4]
There were more mediocre reviews, with mainstream music critics scoring the album 3 out of 6. Some called for more melodies in Equinox' music, and complained that the music was "choppy".[5][6][7] Oppland Arbeiderblad were negative: "thunderous, anti-melodic heavy rock, interspersed with some sci-fi sounds and the odd break with an acoustic guitar".[8]
