Not sure if this is sleaze metal, it all seems a little too timid if you ask me, occasionally scratching at the back door like a leopard but when you peek through the cat flap it just turns out to be a moggy! 'Wind' may indeed get in your hair as a sultry candle burner whilst a blues injection seems vital for the band to make their record seem streetwise. Came at a time when metal was neither here nor there - Child's Play didn't really latch on to a scene and probably didn't have the ability or swagger to either. A handful of half-decent tracks, 'Day After Night' and the boozy 'Good Ol' Rocking Roll' might get the lads up for a jiggle but if bands like the mighty Love/Hate couldn't make an impact then Child's Play had no chance. Strange album covers almost suggest some lo-fi Brit indie record!Friday, 23 December 2011
