Funhouse - Generation Generator (1990)


Bit of an odd one this, the band's only album for Caroline Records is a somewhat mismatch, a funky, sleazy , yet disjointed technicolour cauldron which slipped by the wayside.

Record reviewer Martin Popoff claimed this band were a dead ringer for Mother Love Bone, I don't see it personally, in fact it's more a party record, all thirty minutes of it, that's over before an opinion can be made. Kinda like a fragile Guns 'n' Roses although the album got lumped in with the alterno-metal brigade, but 'Self Denial' is a mover, but the live cuts seem pointless, leading the listener to believe that maybe the band just didn't have the material to fill a record.


6/10
