Precious Metal - That Kind Of Girl (1988)

I really like this all girl bubblegum rock band - how can you not like the infectious 'Sweet Sweet' with it's child-like "Who said anything about love" playground chant as Knauer's hearty vocals warm the cockles over the double lush guitar attack of Robin and Fox, it's irresistable. And so is the irritatingly catchy glam stomp of 'That Kind Of Girl' with its Blondie-esque jig. Many would find this all too innocent and sugary, but there are a few weightier moments such as the middle of the road rocker 'Anybody's Lover,' all done for fun and nothing more. Not a record for the thrashers or satanists among you! 7/10
