│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ By 1989 and the release of its fifth long- ║ │
│║ playing album, No Remorse, Tokyo Blade was ║ │
│║ essentially the Andy Boulton show. After all, ║ │
│║ the guitarist was the last remaining founding ║ │
│║ member still standing, having surrounded himself ║ │
│║ with three new bandmates -- vocalist Michael ║ │
│║ Pozz, bassist Martin Machwitz, and a drummer ║ │
│║ named simply Astor (?) -- since the release of ║ │
│║ 1987's ill-fated Ain't Misbehavin' LP, which had ║ │
│║ once again failed to make Tokyo Blade into a ║ │
│║ commercially viable glam metal band. So it was a ║ │
│║ matter of great relief actually, when No ║ │
│║ Remorse, in direct contradiction to its title, ║ │
│║ took a little pity on Tokyo Blade's long ║ │
│║ suffering fans, and set off in a different ║ │
│║ musical direction -- even if only barely. ║ │
│║ Indeed, although the bulk of its material still ║ │
│║ comprised sleek hard rock infused with ║ │
│║ synthesizers, often bordering on AOR (see ║ │
│║ "Chains of Love," "Moonlight in Martini," etc.), ║ │
│║ plus a few soppy ballads ("Dark Night Over ║ │
│║ Paradise," "Call Me Angel"), No Remorse wasn't ║ │
│║ as intentionally dumbed down as its immediate ║ │
│║ predecessors, only sinking to such lows on the ║ │
│║ stripper theme "5-Inch Catwalk." Among the more ║ │
│║ interesting numbers, "Eye of the Storm" and ║ │
│║ "Shadows of Insanity" were both riff-driven ║ │
│║ Euro-metal anthems reminiscent of period ║ │
│║ Whitesnake; "Crystal Gold"'s organ power chords ║ │
│║ emulated the progressive metal pomp of Savatage; ║ │
│║ and the downright wacky (and somewhat ║ │
│║ ridiculous) "Angel" flirted with new wave α la ║ │
│║ the Cars, which was at least different. So, at ║ │
│║ the end of the day, the album's biggest ║ │
│║ liability is probably the irritating voice of ║ │
│║ new singer Pozz, who, one guesses, was hired ║ │
│║ specifically because his nasal whine resembled ║ │
│║ Axl Rose's...with a quarter as much personality, ║ │
│║ unfortunately. Like the rest of No Remorse, his ║ │
│║ flawed contribution is welcome mostly because ║ │
│║ what came before was so indefensibly horrid, yet ║ │
│║ taking this as a sign of marked improvement ║ │
│║ hardly represents a ringing endorsement for an ║ │
│║ album. Only Tokyo Blade's most masochistic fans ║ │
│║ will have to seek out. ║ │
