It starts pretty bad, I wonder who the hell encouraged them, to keep on with this track listing! Let me say one thing, I consider myself like a supporter of this young German band from Swabia, I liked their two earliest albums and I was very impressed by their live presentation at the Warm show for the mighty 2011's Bang Your Head festival. Often described as Sleazy Hair Glam Revival, not totally wrong but those guys, in fact have more in common with the Euro Melodic scene than anything else!
More DREAM EVIL / EDGUY or PINK CREAM 69 than CRASHDIET or RECKLESS LOVE, if you ask me ... or maybe a good 75/25 percent proportion mix of both! So it start pretty bad, as the worst couple of songs is n°1 & n°2, but soon it gets better and it goes crescendo until the culminating point that is: "Dinosaurs Are Still Alive" sounds like early AT VANCE meets PRIMAL FEAR... Huge high-pitched vocals and a pungent sing along hymn-chorus! Another catchy headbanging highlight is the final bonus track "My Name is Hannibal", so catch the limited edition, grab it while you can or your liver will be eaten with a bottle of good Chianti!
In fact once the first impression deleted, it became downright infectious and bloody addictive, and it sticks in the same way as older tracks like "Super Sonic Killer" or "Addicted to Metal". The song "Six Feet Under" is another incredible track... With acoustic swing Guitars in a very unexpected direction, but Braun's vocal rendition is phenomenal and his new broken intonations are rather promising, his range is still impressive but those new inflections gave some hump and balls... A great singer to look for! According to one of their songs I will call their style as: German Real-Tough Sleaze Deluxe Party Power Metal.
