Born into the wrong era, Shake The Faith come kicking and screaming into the grunge arena and beat the crap out of the dreary-eyed kids with their brand of nuclear sleaze. Guns 'n' Roses, Spread Eagle, Love/Hate, Faster Pussycat and even Beautiful Creatures come to mind on this pretty cool and violent rock 'n' roll album. 'Dysfunctional' has a down and dirty vocal sneer which litters the whole album, taking it beyond the realms of dreamy or dull sleaze and instead gives it a far sharper, more dangerous edge. Don't know how this sold - badly probably - but it's a pure rock 'n' roll record with attitude wrapped in a wicked album cover. Some big noise on offer, the punkoid 'Anti Heroes' unleashes all hell and fury and again you'll be wondering why this sort of band doesn't get the credit or success it deserves. Full on punky sleaze metal for those nights when you want to stay up all night.
7.5/10
