보컬과 베이스의 Blackie Lawless를 중심으로 1982년 조직된 W.A.S.P.의 걸작 중 하나로 손꼽히는 문제작이다. Glam Metal을 기반으로 하여 Shock Rock 이미지의 음악을 들려주던 초기에서 서서히 사회비판적이고 지적인 프로그레시브 사운드로 방향 선회를 하던 밴드의 음악적 역량이 집결된 역작이다. 본작의 하이라이트로 기타솔로 연주가 압권인 "The Idol", 블래키의 호소력 짙은 보이스를 들을 수 있는 명발라드 "Hold on to My Heart" 등을 담고 있다.

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
