How did we miss this?
Oh well. I managed to not hear any Lords during the early days of this project. I liked Dead Boys album enough. But this, this sounds like what happens if Motley Crue went psycho billy.
This is glam. But it’s ugly glam cuz Bators is not a genuinely charismatic guy. He’s a punk. There’s nothing wrong with that. But they sound like they want hits and that’s something a Vince Neil could pull off regardless of vocal abilities.
This album feels longer than it is by half.
