Considering all that had gone before it, bands like Shotgun Messiah should have learned a quick lesson at the time that this type of formulaic sleaze rock gets nowhere without an identity. Slightly irritating in the vocal department, too sickly I guess - vocalists in sleaze bands always trying to sound like the most extreme case of a cat getting killed! It's all too corny, 'Shout It Out' - "na na na na na", pass the sick bucket. 'Heartbreak Blvd' beefs things up a little but this is so limited and drowns in a sea of other sound-alikes but hold on...a few years later these guys would transform themselves completely, so check out the review of their about turn 'Violent New Breed' for a path of darker progress.Saturday 12 March 2011
