LA GUNS/HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES

Descripción

L.A. GUNS THIRD ALBUM HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES IS PERHAPS THE MOST UNDERRATED ALBUM IN THE BANDS CATALOGUE. IT WAS RELEASED AT THE VERY TAIL END OF THE POP-METAL ERA THAT DOMINATED THE 80S AND EARLY 90S RIGHT BEFORE THE ONSLAUGHT OF THE GRUNGE REVOLUTION. HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES PRETTY MUCH TAKES UP WHERE COCKED LOADED LEFT-OFF BUT THIS TIME THE BAND INCORPORATES SOME OLD-SCHOOL BLUES-BASED BOOGIE-GROVES INTO THEIR SOUND. THE BANDS SONGWRITING IS AS GOOD AS EVER AND THE ALBUM LACKS NEITHER GOOD HOOKS NOR MEMORABLE MELODIES. OVER THE EDGE IS A GREAT OPENING TRACK AND IT SHOWS THAT PHIL LEWIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS OUT THERE. ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT IS THE AWESOME BALLAD CRYSTAL EYES.
