The Scream - Let It Scream (1991)


This debut being the only outing and featuring the talents of John Corabi who would feature on Crue's self-titled record. No doubting the guy's pipes, a quality metal singer who really deserved to be in a band as big as Crue, although his exploits with union and the likes never allowed him to reach the highlights. The Scream is ballsy rock 'n' roll, supplying deep hooks and salty sweat, if there's one thing Corabi always delivers, it's full blooded drive and commitment. Fans always refer to 'Man In The Moon' as their sublime favourite track, and there are plenty of brassy numbers to get your teeth into here. The Scream were short-lived but very cool, swallowed by the hair metal brigade who puked out senseless, lightweight rock, thank goodness for bands like this, keen to ram home the spirit of rock 'n' roll, and for taking the time to muster up a collection of anthemic but also well crafted songs to stick in the hearts and minds of many.
