Who ordered the dish of high times, hairspray, spandex, hot women, stage poses, splits from the drumriser and general excess? Thank you for anyone who did, this is truly a breath of fresh air from the American rock scene for me. Finally someone is having fun in rock again. Damn it has been a long time. Snakeryder is a band from New Jersey, and it is very audible that they are fond of fellow townsmen Bon Jovi and even Bruce Springsteen. The band plays full on vintage 80s hard rock in the vein of Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, Ratt and company. And I say that it is about DAMN time I find out about one of these boys:) Everything on this album simply brings a smile on my face. Every track contains
that unadulterated party feeling. Shake For A Shake, Got No Time For Romance,
Love It Bites and Road To Ruin all have magnificent AC/DCish
and CRÜEish riffs that scream a good time. The guitar
solos on the entire album are simply stupendous, I cannot get enough of them.
Hyper-infectious melody combined with the oozing feeling of sleaze that the
era of hair metal was all about. As I said, this feeling did not work for me
on Judas Priests Turbo. On D.O.A. it works
like a hammer to the head. The slick production just gives the solos and riffs
more power to make a fist rise in the name of finding one beautiful babe after
another. And if the girls are not into the smell of hairspray, you still have
the anthems of independency to fall back on. For that is what most of the songs here
are telling about, and god bless them for it:) You wont find much profound,
deep thought in here on the lyrical side, all you prog fans can just return
to sip from your wineglasses and chat about the problems of genetic research
while these boys rock the hell out of us;) Stick To Your Guns even
has a nasty metallic edge to it that makes it the best track among many great
ones. Almost all of the songs have choruses that will bother your brain for
days. You will easily find yourself singing There´s A Price You Have
To Pay in the middle of a grocery store visit. This album is a veritable time machine. This is just Snakeryders
debut album so these guys can make it big. I hope having fun in rock will one
day again become fashionable. Put D.O.A. playing, crank the
volume up to 12, grab a cold one and sit back. You can swear that skyscraper
hair-dos, tight clothing and rocking good time are the rage of the time again.
At least in your mind. To everyone who misses the 80s and the sleazy pop metal,
and are tired of hearing 30-year-old millionaires moan about how bleak life
is, worry no more. Snakeryder has come to save us! Sure this all has been done a million times before, but it takes a lot of skill to make something this worn-out sound so damn fresh and energetic. CANT TAKE
MY SOUL, IN THE NAME OF ROCK N ROOOLLL!!! |
