Cry Wolf - Crunch (1990)

Okay so enough of the thrash for now...Cry Wolf couldn't be more removed, this is crystal clear melodic metal that within a year had died a death. Even so, worth a listen, because I'm liking the sweet vocal delivery of Timmy Hall and those crisp guitars on mid tempo rocker 'On The Rocker.' Sure, it's hair metal, so you kinda know what to expect, but some is better than others, and 'Crunch' is a good record that isn't afraid to rock, 'Sto Look Listen' is a hyper boogie, boasting some cool guitar licks from Steve McKnight, whilst the bass-lead 'West Wind Blows' is a little scorcher of a track, all pout and pose. I'm not gonna knock it, it is what it is, but anyone who doesn't like the sweet crunch of 'Road To Ruin' clearly isn't a metalhead. 7/10
