The title track is actually done in a blues fashion and it’s good to hear Michael Monroe’s voice stretching out a bit. The same can be said for such other cool tracks like “Beer and a Cigarette” and “Kill City Kills.” Again both are great tracks. If I didn’t have the title in front of me, I would have thought it was called “Ten Thousand Heartaches.” Nevertheless, the song is just brilliant so full marks to the band for that little twist. “Desperado,” my favourite track, is only sung once. What I find about most of the songs on this album is that the titles of the songs hardly appear in their song. If you think that “Problem Child” was a cover of the AC/DC classic, it is nothing of the sort. However, putting it first wouldn’t be a good idea because “Love’s an Injection” is such a great opener. Except for maybe “Whispers in the Dark,” that’s not quite as good as the others. Just about every track on this album is an absolute corker and one thing that it has in common with its predecessor is that each songs seems to improve as the album progresses. I won’t be so flowery about the second album, “Self Destruction Blues.” The album just simply bloody rocks! When I visited the predecessor, “Oriental Beat,” I commented on what a great feel good, party album it was and I stick by that. Now onto the second album in 1982 from Finnish glam metallers, Hanoi Rocks. I’m afraid that no one gets the grand prize this time. See, the quote I used on the last post was from Wayne’s World 1 while the photo below it was from Wayne’s World 2. Boppinsblog was close though because the mistake had to do with the quote from Wayne’s World. But that wasn’t the mistake I was referring to. Boppinsblog came close as he pointed out that “Live At Budokan” was a Cheap Trick album, so one 80smetalman gold star awarded there. First of all, no one spotted the mistake in my last post.
