█ I still remember watching the video for "Bad █
█ Attitude" on MTV's Headbanger's ball. Back in the █
█ day, Hellion had the repuation as being the only █
█ metal band with a decent female singer. While fans █
█ of Bitch or Wendy O' Williams might take issue, █
█ there really has been no female who has been more █
█ important to the metal scene than Ann Boleyn. █
█ However, she does have a unique voice in the same █
█ was as singeres like Halford, King Diamond or Bon █
█ Scott. Once you hear her voice, you will never █
█ forget it and you will love it or hate it. █
█ I gave this record a 90% because of two things: █
█ (1.) the drum solo, which I felt was kind of silly █
█ on a studio album, and (2.) "Easy Action" which █
█ should have been on a Van Halen album, but not a █
█ Hellion album---(it is just too happy). █
█ Other than for those two factors, however, this CD █
█ is really an excellent example of metal at it's █
█ best. I compare this CD to the 80s stuff by Ozzy █
█ and Dio. The guitarist, Chet Thompson, came in to █
█ replace Ray Schenck and Alan Barlam, who had █
█ played on two earlier albums. I remember people █
█ thinking that Ann Boleyn had gone crazy when she █
█ decided to replace two guitarists with █
█ one----until they heard Chet Thompson! [There have █
█ been rumors that Chet was taught by Randy Rhoads █
█ and that he was the first pick to fill Randy's █
█ shoes, but that Chet did not get along with █
█ Sharron. I don't know if that was true, but I █
█ believe it if it was!] █
█ My favorite song has got to be one that never █
█ received any airplay: "The Tower of Air." This █
█ song has a feel that reminds me of Rainbow's █
█ "Gates Of Babylon." "The Hand" also could be █
█ compared to Dio-era Black Sabbath. █
