블랙키의 음악적 능력의 집대성이자 반항아 낭만, 철학의 끝. 많은 분들이 언급하셨듯이 블랙키 자신 스스로를 투영한 주인공 조나단의 삶과 그 마지막을 다룬 앨범이다. 평생을 치기어린 반항아로써 살다가 어느 한순간 철이 든다면 이런 작품을 만들 수 있는 것인가. 3대 헤비메탈 컨셉트 앨범으로 꼽히는 다른 두 앨범들과 궤를 달리하는 진정성과 열정을 담고 있다. 모든 곡들이 괜찮았지만 특히 4,6,8,9,10번을 가장 즐겁고 인상깊게 들었다. 나의 진홍빛 우상 블랙키가 언제나 행복하길 바라며.. 95점.

What is often hailed as one of if not the best W.A.S.P. albums is ironically more so a solo effort by bandleader Blackie that eventually got the W.A.S.P. label slapped on it so it could sell. Sometimes, an album can be a better package if it really is done entirely by one person. Especially in the case of a concept album.
Blackie had a story, he had a few main motifs and he ... Read More

W.A.S.P.는 Glam Metal씬에서 비교적 이른 시기에 성공가도를 걸은 팀으로 꼽히고 있다. 이들은 초기부터 글램 메탈의 형태에 누구보다도 쇼킹한 무대 퍼포먼스로 명성을 얻어갔다. 그러나 이들의 인기전선에 기복이 없었던 것은 아니다. 밴드의 초창기에 발표한 셀프 타이틀 앨범과 The Last Comm... Read More
