Dana Strum's bass plods into action, Vincent's guitars fizz, and Slaughter's screech shatters glass...yep, all welcome to another VV work out within the depths of the '80s. the occasional anthem blessed with Vincent's dazzling solo's, whilst the rest of the band seem to take a bit of a back seat to the main main. Nothing blows the mind, but the slow, slightly pensive 'That Time Of The Year' has hair flicking in the wind, and believe me, when you see the band photo, there's much hair to be flicking! Still, some old school metal on offer once again, the bubblegum strut of 'Ecstasy', and slinkin' remotely Zeppish 'Ashes To Ashes' reminds me not of how cool this stuff is in a fleeting way, but just how many bands in the '80s were churning out this kind of slightly perfumed rock 'n' roll.
So, powder the cheeks, and get that 'Dirty Rhythm' one last time.
6/10
