14 months on the
making and as it is usually the case with W.A.S.P,
this
thought-provoking
album, confronts social, religious, and political
hypocrisy. Musically it is
of a cross between Headless Children and
their
previous album. The Unholy
Terror line up has been maintained for
almost six
years now and consists of
Blackie Lawless (vocals, guitar), Chris
Holmes
(lead guitar), Mike Duda
(bass), and Stet Howland (drums). Blackie has
compared the opening track
"Let it Roar" to "I Wanna Be Somebody," and
he
has also said the second
track "Hate to Love Me" could have easily been
on
the band's first
album. Like any artist, he would like to think that
his
band's latest
effort is just as good as anything else they have ever
done,
but I am not
convinced that this is the case here. All the album
topics
(think for
yourself, seek out your own answers, come to your own
conclusions, and don't
accept prepackaged beliefs or ideals from
anybody
else) are great, but the
music, doesn't sound too fresh to me. It is
good,
it is (classic) W.A.S.P.
but that's all about it. I hope that their new
studio album will be a bit
more exciting than this.
