The title track has a very obvious Judas Priest 'Touch Of Evil' riff. The song itself bears little relation to the track by Halford et al and boasts a powerful verse and chorus structure. It's a rich deep song that, unoriginal riffs aside, is up there with HOL's best work. 'Born To Be Your Baby' is a thunderous track with nods to sleaze and late 80's excess, performed in a considerably more grown-up way. It only misses the final few points of magic by a tiny margin. The mid-paced 'Desert Rain' has a strong HOL sound, but the chorus is a touch too subdued to be truly great. The sickly-sweet ballad 'Sweet September' treads a fine path between brilliance and clichéd nonsense. Every time I listen to it my opinion changes and I really can't decide if I love or hate it. Grrr. And what's with the incredibly high pitched spinny noise at 2.34? Very odd. 'Bangin'' picks the pace up again. It's a stomping track with a meat and veg chorus you want to eat until you burst. 'The Bigger They Come' is pacey with a great sound. Parts of it are uncannily similar to the Steinberg/Kelly song 'I Drove all Night' which is off-putting. The chorus is splendid however. The uninspiringly titled 'Repo Man' ends up being one of the better tracks on the album. It harks back to the late 80's and features some quality hooks and a strong chorus. 'Saved By Rock' is a better track too. The way the track builds to the chorus is very well judged. 'Joanna' continues the positive trend, whilst bonus track 'The Train' is considerably more wonderful than several of the main entries. Go figure...Read full review
