Lynch Mob - Wicked Sensation (1990)


Well, it's alright. Of course, I can't leave the review at that but this is more middle of the road metal, not as cringe worthy as the likes of Steelheart, Lynch Mob having more balls than alot of late '80s, early '90s rock acts but already suffering at the hands of metal's new inventors being the likes of Faith No More, Soundgarden etc. Featuring George Lynch of Dokken fame, 'Wicked Sensation' is straight down the line good time rock, not as soulful as say Bulletboys but catchy all the same, 'River Of Love' is a bit of a stomper even if 'Sweet Sister Mercy' sounds more suited to Def Leppard, but it's accessible and doesn't leaving me eating my own hair. Bereft of any creativity, Lynch Mob exist on some reasonable choruses, albeit tracks which seem to lead the same way in their formula, but at least when we get to the anthemic bit it's not too much of a let down. A nice up-tempo record that doesn't require thought.

5.5/10
