Too many sleaze bands spoil the broth...even so, always worth going back to sleazeville and checking out these bands. Not mind-blowing exactly, and of course this kind of stuff fizzled embarrassingly when the grunge-droid sauntered...or should that be, stomped in. This debut boasts some decent fluid sleaze, in fact 'Bang Go The Bells' has a well and truly kick-ass (as they'd say in the USA!) riff.
I file this alongside Every Mother's Nightmare and Cats In Boots, in the sense then when you listen back many years later, you realise it's not as wimpy as you thought. So, in other words, appreciate this stuff now, while you can, and try to appreciate it for what it is, good time party rock. It may not have broken into the mainstream like Guns 'n' Roses did, and it certainly doesn't have diversity of say Love/Hate, but it deserves some of your time.
6/10
