Wildside were tragically too late for the sleaze invasion, and too late for grunge, but this record still sees the band progress into an alterno-metal groove, laced with a colour of grunge, and as 'Life In The Grid' kicks into its Alice In Chains' style sway, there's a hint of promise. This isn't just a regurgitation of what's been and passed, Wildside do seem sincere in their approach, and effortlessly take certain rock styles and blend them. 'Full Circle' is moderately funky, even with a dash of White Zombie in the vocal mix, and 'Looking To Move' reminds one of Mother Love Bone as it swoons. Whether whiskey sleaze of scented grunge is your thing, you kinda get the best of both worlds here. No points for the migraine-inducing sleeve though.
7/10
