March 1983
Helix
No Rest for the Wicked
Grade 2.5
Highlights:
No Rest for the Wicked
Grade 2.67 out of 5
Take Ratt (seriously, would someone take them?), add a dash of REO Speedwagon, scramble up the most obnoxious parts of Vince Neil (i know, I know) some AC/DC obsession with “rock” and a lot of hairspray and that’s this record.
Helix sounds like every band from the early 80s. But while I miss many of them (Screaming for Vengeance, Blizzard of Ozz) or could discover things I missed (Metal Health) this is just a muddy entry that doesn’t really cut through.
Serviceable and forgettable.
