The 1985 Listening Post - Vandenberg - Alibi

Vandenberg - Alibi



#333/968
September 1 1985
Vandenberg
Alibi
Genre: Glam Metal
3.5 out of 5


Highlights:
Dressed to Kill
Kamikaze 

Even these guys sound bored. 
There’s a Brooklyn band called Station. They are a retro hair metal band slugging it out in the indie world. 
Their first record, ______, was such a treat that I had high expectations after a solid single for their follow up. 
What a letdown. Bored. Stale. Toothless. 
Vandenberg-esque. Like a copy of a style that is close but not quite there. For every successful approximation there are two failures. 
Like Station. 
A noble attempt tho.
