The 1986 Listening Post - Sinner - Comin' Out Fighting

Sinner - Comin' Out Fighting


#470/2120
1986 Housekeeping
Sinner
Comin’ Out Fighting
Genre: Glam Rock
3.25 out of 5


Highlights:
Lost in a Minute


Requisite 80s Cover:
“Rebel Yell”….you know…that classic track from…a couple years ago. It’s a very faithful karaoke version with Sinner approximating Idol sneer for sneer. Weirdly, he sounds as much like Idol as he does the lead singer for Diamond Nights and I never noticed how close they were before…I miss Diamond Nights…



This German glam rock band has, to date, put out 19 albums. This is my first time with them and it’s all perfect fine dual guitar hair metal stuff. Matt Sinner, the bassist and leader of this band has also put out over 15 records either solo or as part of his other band, Primal Fear. 
That’s 30+ albums of stuff I’ve never heard and given the perfectly middling stuff here, I’m not clamoring to go deeper into his catalog (but, you know, for the purpose of this archaeological dig, I will, dammit.)
