| It's great. Rather, it sounds like most everything he has put out in the last 15 years.

| W.A.S.P. sounds like W.A.S.P. and there's nothing wrong with that...what I've heard of this good...Blackie does what he does very well... |

| Speaking of W.A.S.P. here is a very short segement of an interview: Blackie Lawless has claimed that he will never play Animal (F**k Like A Beast) again. Talking to Norwegian website www.fvn.no, Blackie said of W.A.S.P.’s most notorious song: “We haven’t done that song for several years. It’s totally because of my religious faith and it’s something that I don’t want to do anymore. I will never play that song again.” Blackie also said W.A.S.P.’s blood-splattered stage show is very much a thing of the past. Moreover, the frontman insisted that his raw meat-chucking antics of the past were misunderstood, calling them “abstract art”. “I did what I thought was abstract art and tried to make social commentary through this – but nobody understood the social message. You probably thought we were a shock-rock band. I have never considered us a shock-rock band. ” |

| WASP's early days remind me of the sleaze of Motley Crue mixed with the theatrics of KISS and Alice Cooper. I always kinda liked Blackie's voice... The new one looks like it's interesting. |

| I've only heard the lead track "Crazy" (which was streaming on the label site a couple of weeks ago before the album release) and it sounded pretty good, although it's pretty much "Wild Child" re-written... then again, Blackie's been cannibalizing his own past goods since the HELLDORADO album anyway, so that shouldn't be a surprise.

| I've read that Blackie has been doing a lot of soulsearching since the early 00's and has been writing some religious type lyrics. It's a far cry from his bloody madman character. |

| Blackie himself says this album has U.S. distribution, but I'll be darned if I can find anything but an import available online. |

| Saw W.A.S.P. live last Friday. It was a true Best-Of set list, and only 2 new songs were played. Besides them, nothing released after "Stil Not Black Enough" was played. And I even commented on the fact that FLAB was not played to a friend of mine. They sounded fantastic though. My friend and I also discussed Blackie's apparent walk towards his childhood faith. After 9-11 the man has been more and more aware of his upbringing, and the new album is even parthy a concept album about the end times. I'd love to meet this man one day! _________________  |

Says import though. I thought there was an actual U.S. label for this. No matter, that's exactly what I ordered a few hours ago.
And it'll be arriving here... November 24-December 10.  Why is Amazon soooooooo slow? |
