W.A.S.P
This album seems very familiar... but not a rehash of old riffs or songs. This CD is like a collection of what I have loved about the sound of W.A.S.P over the years (especially the 80's). Blackie Lawless's voice carries very well considering his age and his singing style (not his prime, but not far off). Blackies's fellow band-mates on this album fit in very well and the production is very good. The only thing I was unhappy with, is that the CD only contains nine songs and two are covers. Other than that.... Hats off to you Blackie!
Rockin' To This One
Have always been a fan of W.A.S.P.,but never a die-hard,as compared to the many other 80's bands I love.Babylon rocks hard...Perhaps,not as Blackies past albums from the 80's and it shouldn't have to,but certainly holds its own for 2010...The first time I heard Crazy,I was hooked to the song and knew I had to buy the album.None of the songs disappoint.A couple of cover's,a couple of ballads and the heavy Blackie trademark songs...Strong throughout...I think the new album will keep old W.A.S.P. fans interested and gain new ones along the way...get it now...You will like...
W.A.S.P. Still Rocks...
Blackie has changed his crew over the years...nothing will compare to the first few albums for basically anyone out there...I think it's just plain great to hear another W.A.S.P. album...Blackie sounds great for what it is...at least he can say his voice has held up though it all!!!...
Blackie does not disappoint
I've been following Blackie since he first came out and I've always been a fan of his. BABYLON does not disappoint. The production is excellent and the songs are just as loud, epic and dramatic and very well played.
The 1st track opens with similar "WILD CHILD" chords but the rest is original on it's own. Blackie and the boys perform a killer rendition of Deep Purple's "BURN" which is one of the best covers I ever heard. It seems that Blackie always performs a song in the true spirit of Rock 'N' Roll on just about every album he does as indicated on the last track.
A very good solid listening experience - a must purchase for die-hard WASP fans.
3 Stars Because:
I still love his hair:
It seems to have some rehash of guitar lines that I faintly hear in the background from other albums but I really thought his 'Crimson Idol' CD was and still is excellent as well as his Double Live album and it also reminds me of his 'Electric Circus Live' CD and we all know that Blackie is a bit older nowadays but I'm glad to see he's back on the scene after all the controversy that he's endured, I've seen a couple old videos that popped up on the TV for the Metal Mania program that the run on cable and at that moment wondered whatever happened to him and now I know now that he back on the scene. I also went thru my collection and found his 'Last Command' CD and thought it was pretty well done. That picture on the cover could have made for a better CD had the sound been really metallized.
