Racing

Racing is the nineteenth Loudness album, released by Tokuma Japan Communications on 25 November 2004 — the band's third release of that year, after Terror in January and Rock Shocks in October. The sleeve brought back the classic logo of the band's early years, a deliberate acknowledgement of where they had come from. After the weight of Terror, this record leads with speed and forward drive. An all-English version followed on 6 April 2005, and that August Drakkar in Germany issued an international edition with a different running order and a different cover. It was the third time the band made one album in two languages, after Disillusion and Hurricane Eyes.
