Lee Aaron
Metal Queen
2.5 out of 5
Highlights:
Deceiver
Breakdown
While I appreciate the sound effects of dungeon chains being dragged around...Is this intentionally hilarious? When Lee sings her own backup with herself it’s so unintentionally funny but then I realize that she wants to be taken seriously and, well, I have Lita Ford for that. And Lita played her instrument. I have no doubt that Lee’s backing band was up to the task, as they prove on, say “Deceiver”. There are a million of these dual guitar attack shredders and they all do it either as well or better. I liked “Breakdown” however. But that’s more for the production, which is excellent, than for the song itself. Lee wants to be metal when she would be better off incorporating more glam into her act. She gets there at the end (“We Will Be Rockin’”) but it’s not enough to save her.
Generic.
