CRASH DIET

If you like prime Scandinavian sleaze, this band's for you!

I know it's blasphemy for a fan of the genre to say but this band just doesn't do anything for me. I have the first two and rarely spin them. I've read that the new one is better so I'll probably give it a shot.

Talked about this band in the Would You Buy This Section... Not bad but they're better bands in this genre...

That's my take too.

I like Hardcore Superstar, Backyard Babies, Gemini Five and Babylon Bombs more than Crashdiet.

All I can say is 'Riot In Everyone' is a great track.

The first one was great, I thought. One of the best of the retro 80s albums out there. The second was a bit of a letdown, though. The songs were weaker, and I didn't like the sound of it; the riffs are a bit too thick and modern-sounding.

The clips I've heard of the latest sound more like the first.

Nope. They were fairly expensive.

Okay

Spinning this one for the first time! So good so far! Thanks to all who recommended this disc to me! From Guru Records!

Armageddon and Chemical both kick ass!

So Alive!

Generation Wild(title track)


Rating in-progress: 9/10.
Certainly some Crue vibes on this album.

New disc is KILLER! I have all of their stuff and like it all. I just wish that the lead singer position would solidfy.

Amen!

After a full spin: 9.5/10. A contender for the Top 10 for 2010!

Eh, something about this band just misses with me regardless who the singer is.

Really? I totally dig their style.

I agree with 7thSaviour, "I totally dig their style."

I have the first two discs and really like them both. A lot of people didn't seem to care for Unattractive Revolution, but I like it.

Looking forward to getting the new one.

I have all 3 by Crashdiet and there's just something missing. I can't put my finger on why exactly because they play my favorite style of music.

I'd like to get their first 2 discs. Liked the samples I heard.

I can't believe you don't love them?!

Awful name! Not metal at all. I'll still check them out though.

The band name is actually one word...Crashdiet.

Still can't really get into them though for some weird reason. I don't think they're terrible but they just seem kinda blah to me and being a major glam/sleaze fan that's blasphemous because most fans of the genre put this band in upper echelon.
