Cool rock 'n' roll band, combining Guns 'n' Roses, Skid Row and a whole host of straight sleaze, rock 'n' roll metal acts. I don't know a lot about these guys but with Mick Mars featuring on a couple of songs it's gotta rock. This is the band's second opus after 'Rest In Sleaze' debut. The band are now fronted by Olliver Twisted after the death of the original vocalist.
I have to admit I expected this to be a party sleaze record, but it's cooler than that. Combining some reasonably heavy rockers with attitude and swagger, this could slot well alongside the more frenzied Brides Of Destruction and G 'n' R, the latter coming to mind on 'Like A Sin'. Some may even find a few Def Leppard comparisons, especially on 'Overnight' and 'Bound To Be Enslaved' with the synthesized, anthemic vocal effect. 'Buried Song' reminds me of Skid Row in its swagger, and fans of these kind of bands will find much to savour in Crash Diet's ballsy rock sound.
Reasonably uplifting in a way. And slightly more sugar-coated than the debut.
7/10
