Well, well, well, here I go again, injecting a 'newie' in this vast cauldron of vintage sleaze, glam, death, doom and thrash destruction. Roxx aren't original but there is something charming about this opus - maybe it's the rough vocal rasps of vocalist Joey D'Angeli - the same guy who oh so briefly fronted Skid Row before Sebastian Bach took the throne. But this is no one-trick pony; so what we get are eleven very catchy, glam-laced tunes - the best of these being the infectious bubble-gum sway of 'Give Up Your Heart' and the stomping lipstick drama of 'Too Little Too Late' delivered with enough hairspray to coat the lug-holes. Certainly one of the better contemporary rock n' roll glam bands doing the rounds and it's an album that reeks of experience and sugar-coated licks that should please fans of Pretty Boy Floyd and the likes.
7/10
