THE RISE

Advantages: The first of a two part album
Disadvantages: You have to buy two separate albums

...is very unusual. The Neon God Part 1 subtitled The Rise (the second installment subtitled The Demise) is a 14 track cd that tells the story of a young orphan (Jesse Slane) who has been abused by the nuns that run the orphanage he is incarcerated in. Each of the 14 tracks charts a part of the story as the young orphan tries to come to terms with his own existence, the abuse he is suffering, the hypocrisy of religion, the discovery of the power of ...
...will worship him as the Neon God. Each Track is loaded with classic W.A.S.P riffs that meld seamlessly with front man Blackie Lawless unique and unforgettable vocals, creating modern symphony that carry's on from track to track. The tracks get better and better as they progress through the album culminating with The Raging Storm which will bring you out in goose bumps. Although there are 14 tracks four of them (2. why am I here, 5. why am I nothing, ...

Review of Neon God, The - WASP

The Crimson Idol- WASP

Advantages: Its power to invoke emotion
Disadvantages: Its power to affect your mood.

The Crimson Idol is a beautiful album, which fluctuates between powerful emotions of melancholy, rage and frustration. As a concept album it is dark and depressing. It makes you feel for the character of Jonathan as he deals with beatings from his father, fear, being ignored, running away, his own mocking reflection in the mirror, insanity, the words of a gypsy fortuneteller. The machinations of Chainsaw Charlie, His rise to fame and his fall from ...
...Roktor. The album sweeps in with the aptly named Titanic Overture and ends on a long melancholy reprise track. I love this album, if you like raw emotions in your music; this is what you are looking for because the angst filled tracks come fast and furious from the start ...

Review of Crimson Idol - WASP

Mean mutherz in errrr L.A.

Advantages: Really worth a listen is this one
Disadvantages: None

...this really kick!! Being the Headless Chrildren, and Thunderhead making the hairs stand up on your neck. Mean man is a track about guitarist Chris Holmes and his 'antics' on the docufilm ' The Rock Years'. The second half of the album goes into 'Chillin' mode with 'Forever Free' before getting back on form with the track ' Rebel in the F.D.G. ' to close. If you are into your rock hard and heavy you will love this album. It is not for the faint of ...
...lack the musical and vocal capabililty of bands like W.A.S.P. Definately one for the old school rocker!! This was Blackie's first attempt at a concept album and this one delivers. His later projects 'The Crimson Idol' and last years 'The Neon God' were even more mature and complete and showed just how far his song writing had come on since the 'Headless Children'. ...

Review of Headless Children, The - WASP

Best of their style can be heard here!

Advantages: Heavy, Different, One of a kind band.
Disadvantages: Obscene, sexist, BUT SO WHAT!!!

Do you like loud? Do you like nasty? Then crank up these bad boy tunes!! This is some of the best music WASP has to offter its die-hard fans. This is a CD I play over and over. If you are a fan, then you ALREADY own this CD. Before the down side of their crazy lifestyle got to them, and the music turned in a new direction, Blackie and his boys rocked us with this great collection of raw rock and roll. If you are easily offended, stay away, if you ...

Review of Inside The Electric Circus [Remastered] - WASP

W.A.S.P Double Album Set

Advantages: Great value if you're trying to update your vinyl or audio tape collection
Disadvantages: Its quite hard to remove the second cd from the case.

What more needs to be said, Vintage WASP at their very best. The first two clasic WASP Albums in one cover for the price of one C.D. Tracks from the first album simply entitled W.A.S.P such as 'I Wanna Be Sombody' 'L O V E Machine' and The Torture Never Stop' will have you banging your head in no time, while tracks from the second album 'The Last Command' like 'Wild Child' 'Ball Crusher' and 'Im Blind In Texas' will blow you away. The lead singer ...
