Crashdiet members couldnt afford to lose themselves amidst a million other swedish glam metal bands and decided to cash in the recent controversial death of their frontman.
They recruited Olliver H. Twisted as the lead singer and he is awful. Some of the songs do require a screechy voice and it suits his style but some songs just sound so awful when he's singing them.
Anyways, Im not truly a fan of these glam metal bands a lot but atleast some of them do bring out the 80s vibe to them. This album has 11 tracks...
This album also features Riff king Mick Mars of Motley crue. And according to the lead guitar player, it was mick mars's reps that approached them instead of the other way round.
1. Alone : It features Mick mars. The song stops and moves in slow motion. The drumming is fine but the guitar play is awful. 1 verse keeps repeating again n again. And solo is something tediously done and sounds like a distorted riff 10 sec sample from any glam band.
(2/5)
2. Bound to be enslaved: It starts off as an energetic angry track. The lead singer comes in with a really weird girly voice thats almost too funny. Especially when hes talking about to live is to die and stuff. Lol. Mandatory solo is again too short. (2/5)
3. Die Another Day : Better vocals here. Lyrics seem too lethargic here. Seems like just another song written as a filler. But its much better musically than the above 2 tracks. Solo is much better here. (3/5)
4. Falling Rain : Ahh a ballad. What a surprise. The singer doesnt do justice to it. It couldve been a better ballad. Nothing special here. (2/5)
5. I dont care : Features Mick mars again. I like this track. Pretty energetic and upbeat. The screechy voice does justice to this fast paced song. The lyrics are nice and solo is pretty cool. (4/5)
6. In The Raw : The first single off the album. Its kinda dark and so is its video (which i didnt understand 1 bit). The screechy voice again suits this song. The solo though couldve been longer and angrier. (3.5/5)
7. Like A Sin : Starts off with an angrier bass and the lead singer is suffering from tonsils or something big time. The lyrics are stupid. (2/5)
8. Overnight : Slow paced song. The voice is alright but the song is unbearable. The solo outro is longer in this one but yawn who cares. (2/5)
9. The buried song : Oh? then what were some of these other tracks. Starts off with a fast paced edge to it. Has a punk vibe to this so the lyrics cant be expected to be queen-ish. Midway it turns a bit on the average side. Still its better than the other crap tracks in this album. (3/5)
10. Thrill Me : Gasoline and glam swag song. Something you will hear in every single glam cd. Lead guitarist does try to bring some sanity in this track. Verses are too less to fill the 5 minute track so they repeat the chorus again n again. (2.5/5)
11. XTC Overdrive : Pretty nice track. The screechy voice does justice to this song. Its a dark mid paced song but the lead guitarist brings an edge to it. At the end Olliver does this scream that is so funny coz it couldve been avoided. It sounds like a puppy being run over a car. (3.5/5)
The drummer was supposed to be in a metal band in his earlier days. But it seems that this album has pretty easy going drumming and nothing spectacular. Plus the bass has been turned way down in some tracks.
The absence of Dave Lepard brought the whole album down ... or it was the lead singer and the inability of the players to be more sincere towards making a comeback.
Standout tracks : I dont care, In the raw
