Album Review

W.A.S.P – Babylon

• 23rd Oct 2009

W.A.S.P have been through quite a few members in their history which stretches right back to the early 80’s. In fact it is front man Blackie Lawless that remains. It’s his baby, but the trouble with that is that although he has changed his band around, the music has stumbled on through the decades and become more tarnished than progressed.

But then there are no tricks like the old tricks, and this is part of a an acquired taste which has no shortage of metallers ready for this release to come out. Hell it even has a Chuck Berry cover at the end which can’t be all that bad can it.

Those of you who like your rock to go somewhere had best avoid this, whereas the loyal masses who like their old metal sounding like old metal and never changing over the years, album after album, had seek no further than here.
