Frontiers\/BAM<\/p>\n
Swedish band CRAZY LIXX has been in the spotlight since 2007, when they debuted with \u201cLoud Minority\u201d. Formed in Malmoe in 2002 they were a part of the New Wave of Swedish Sleaze alongside the likes of CRASHDIET and HARDCORE SUPERSTAR. Up to date they have released three albums, of which their second effort, \u201cNew Religion\u201d had potential but also flaws. Sporting influences like KISS and GUNS\u00b4N`ROSES they go for the throat with \u201cRiot Avenue\u201d.
\nOpener \u201cWhisky Tango Foxtrot\u201d has balls and cocky lyrics, just like I expected. <\/p>\n
It\u00b4s not a bad opener at all, but \u201cRock and a Hard Place\u201d off \u201cNew Religion\u201d was in all honesty better. This album has more balls than a lorry of male birds, but also some serious experiences of having heard it all before. Still the likes of \u201cYoung Blood\u201d and \u201cFire It Up\u201d are on par with the much touted idols of the band. And to the idols despair I\u00b4d say that \u201cChurch of Rock\u201d is a track that many of them would kill to come up with these days\u2026 There are grooves, refrains and hair metal heaven lyrics of heedlessness and hedonism all over the place. I somewhere detect the vibe of KILLER DWARVES \u201cDirty Weapons\u201d album from 1990. I quite enjoyed the VENGEANCE like \u201cSweet, Bad and Beautiful\u201d and the total party mania of \u201cDowntown\u201d, but it all rings far too familiar in my ears. Still I have kept this one in my player for longer than many albums in 2012, so it is reminiscence with a smile. But the somewhat pubertal closing track \u201cOnly the Dead Knows\u201d is definitely not the sweetest way of closing the procedures. If this one would have been released in the eighties we know the story, now it will not bring in the millions, alas. <\/p>\n
