Thoughts

I was a bit nervous about this, thinking it was going to be quite hard, heavy music but it wasn’t. Hard rock, maybe, but no screaming and shouting, so all good. It’s not an album that had huge standout songs, although Pour Some Sugar on Me is fun, of course. But otherwise it’s just some really good, solid rock.

Revisited - Feb 24

Whilst working through the albums again to assign a score, I realised my description above really doesn’t do this album justice. It’s great! The bit about being nervous about it still applies, even though I know what to expect now, but the songs themselves are definitely worth working through the nerves for.

Rating: 4 / 5
