Title: Disappointing
Review: This record sounds like its cover looks: cheesy and played out. I LOVED the first Burning Brides album, it had the best parts of Nirvana, T-Rex and the Stooges all rolled into one band. I had high hopes for them, but on this record it sounds like they've become a lame hard rock bar band. Full of predictable rock riffs and lyrics this doesn't come near the clever rockingness of old tracks like "If I'm a Man". They still play with skill and urgency, but in my opinion the songwriting and hooks just aren't there. Even the couple of decent tracks on this seem like efforts to reach out and say "Hey look, we ROCK, we're a ROCK BAND!". I still plan of following these guys but right now they sound like they belong in an 80s biker bar or, best case scenario, an arena.
