Comments
Picture this: A barbarian-shaped naked man riding a bat-shaped motorcycle out of the explosive depths of Hell itself and landing in an appallingly large cemetery. What loud, hardcore, and disturbing music awaits us? What music effigies and offerings to the very top of the Rock Gods await us? Screeching Death Metal? Perhaps some Hair Rock? Goth?
Nope. Trash Can music.
This Album looks so sweet. But holy Jesus, this music is repulsive. Every song is like, 8 minutes of just piano pop, even though the back says "Hard Rock". It's trash. It's literally a steaming hot pile of mold, designed to look cool. Seriously Meatloaf? No Rocky Horror, no Hot-Patootie, just Grandma music.
Stick to acting, and stay off this list.
