Album Notes Also available in a 3-pack with THE LAST COMMAND and THE HEADLESS CHILDREN.W.A.S.P: Blackie Lawless (vocals, bass); Randy Piper (vocals, guitar); Tony Richards (vocals, drums); Chris Holmes (guitar).Includes liner notes by Dante Bonutto and Blackie Lawless.All tracks have been digitally remastered.By 1984, Kiss had been unmasked for a year and Alice Cooper was on hiatus. But L.A. bands like W.A.S.P. (which stood for "We Are Sexual Perverts") were picking up the theatrical, shock-metal slack quite nicely. The band would wear eerie make-up, tight leather, and knee-high boots, while wielding a variety of outlandish props. Musically, W.A.S.P. specialized in mega-decibel heavy metal, as evidenced by the group's gold-certified self-titled debut. W.A.S.P. contains two of the band's most popular tracks (the scream-along anthems "I Wanna Be Somebody" and "L.O.V.E. Machine)" and many other compositions that fans of '80s metal will find gratifying. Highlights include the rockers "The Flame," "School Daze," "Hellion," "On Your Knees," and "The Torture Never Stops," plus the ballad (by W.A.S.P. standards, anyway) "Sleeping In the Fire." | |||||||||||
Reviews I bought this album on vinyl 17 or 18 yrs years ago.Cant remember exact date.I have still got it.I wanted to listen to it occasionally and think back to my younger days.As we don't have record players anymore i couldn't do this.And the CD in the shop was quite expensive for an oldy of which i would only listen to occasionally .Then I saw it on eBay 99p.What a bargain!!! And still a excellent album.I wasn't disappointed at all. Review ID: 10000000003030969 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 07/12/06 by: This was the original 1984 release without the later versions' notorious bonus track "Animal".Original now long out of print and sought after. This was the first album release from the American hard rock band Wasp and arguably the best. Lyrics have a strong sexual overtone and are hard hitting,so are not for the easily shocked or offended. This album is 80's rock music at it's best and a must have for any "metal" fan. Review ID: 10000000002484035 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
