SPV\/Playground<\/p>\n
The title here refers to Lita\u00b4s early days of girl band splendor, as well as the bad days of her life. In retrospect I can\u00b4t help wondering if it was a call to find out if the other ex-members of THE RUNAWAYS were into the idea of a reunion, which seems to be happening. The aim here is apparently to make music that helps people through hard times, and that requires cozy refrains and a lot of Lita\u00b4s 80\u00b4s music. Her previous outing, \u201cWicked Wonderland\u201d was a sleeping pill compared to her glories of old, so I hope this one is destined to see many people out of the darkness and into the light. <\/p>\n
Opener \u201cBranded\u201d has some nice energy and a stubborn refrain, but also some gloom. Wee, it sure beats the album before this. \u201cHate\u201d is a bit too basic for my liking, but still an improvement over the latest disc, plus the opener. The title track shows some depth, and some thinking behind the lyrics, more of this please. The soft ballad \u201cMother\u201d makes me think that all is forgiven, only to a few tracks on be topped by the effortless and convincing \u201cAsylum\u201d. But the choice of covering the NIKKI SIXX penned \u201cA Song to Slit Your Wrists By\u201d is ill-conceived if you want to make people happy, and the non-descript modernity of \u201cDevil in My Head\u201d is not exactly an aspirin\u2026 But all in all LITA FORD is heading in the right direction!<\/p>\n
