W.A.S.P.'s second opus, a reasonable record lacking the fire of the debut but featuring enough rocking numbers to please most fans of the bands music. Although patchy it still features some of their best numbers, particularly 'Wild Child', 'WidowMaker' and 'Blind In Texas' and the usual lesser, yet expected tracks, i.e. 'Sex Drive'.W.A.S.P. mainman Blackie Lawless may not have the best lyrical prowess, after all, the mid-'80s were merely about headbanging stompers and battle cry anthems, but the seething fury of 'Wild Child' makes it a true rocker with 'Blind In Texas' as equally as impressive in the melody stakes.
So, overall, at times it's quite Twisted Sister in places, and let's face it, lyrics such as, "...les-bo nymphomaniac, ooh she got a friend that is seventeen', and "...you feel it getting hard, your crotch starts to throb", won't be winning any awards, but that's what made W.A.S.P. the act they were, total entertainment.
7/10
