Honeymoon Suite - Racing After Midnight (1989)

Thrashers, leave right now. Y'know the band shot on the cover suggests a real lightweight style of rock, and you'd be right, because Honeymoon Suite are strewn with keyboards and bubblegum guitars. Run of the mill is an understatement, but I paid £1.99 for this so I'm gonna review it ha! This is pomp rock bliss for anyone seeking something catchy but that rarely becomes audible above a whisper. 'Lookin Out For Number One' is infectious indeed, Johnnie Dee croons all over this as he becomes awash with synths, courtesy of Pruess. The twinkling 'Long Way Back' has a Bon Jovi feel, in fact, the whole record has a chart-orientated feel, never once becoming a metal record, but instead a rock record of polished production and mullets of supreme quality! Not a lot to say, but deserves a review because not much of this stuff litters this blog, but there may some people out there in cyberspace eager for this type of wimpy rock.

5/10
