This smokes like a bitch in the frying heat! What a stonking rock 'n' roll record, a few years too late, but deserved of much recognition and praise. This act combine the swagger, style, and certainly vocal sneer of Guns 'n' Roses, with a slight alterno-rock approach, the result a cauldron of cracking riffs, refreshing vibes, and sleaze-infested stomp. 'Angry Youth', 'Save The Children' and the fantastic 'Crash Diet' know how to rock...blending a dirty, but free-flowing grunge with a more sugary metal, all the while those Axl-infected vocals make for an interesting listen. Several years before Beautiful Creatures, yet parading the same bravado amidst those sauntering guitars and swaggering beats. Asphalt Ballet are one cool band who slipped by the wayside...a familiar state of affairs with bands bands of this ilk, but don't let that deter you because as we know, it's not always about the success. Uneventful album cover hides a gem.
8/10
