Info:
Slaughter's third album in three years "Back to Reality" features their strongest group of songs since 1995's excellent "Fear No Evil." This is the first cd with new guitarist Jeff Blando who replaces the late Tim Kelly, who passed away in early 1998 in a car accident. Jeff, while not as melodic as Tim, shreds on this cd. `Killing Time' is by far the heaviest song Slaughter ever did and is a must-listen not only for Slaughter fans but critics who have lambasted the four for being just another hairspray band. `All fired up' and `Take me away' are classic Slaughter minus some of the studio polish present in some of the bands previous efforts while `Dangerous' makes one think of AC/DC. The first single off "Back to reality" `Trailer Park Boogie' features the distinct vocals by Mark Slaughter and really showcases Jeff's sleazy, raw guitar sound. "Love is forever' is the first of three ballads from the cd and is reminiscent of the band's hit from the early 90's `Fly to the angels.' This is followed up by `Bad Groove' a song that sounds like it came off Slaughter's 1997 cd, "Revolution," a disc while still rock, sounded more like Enuff Z'Nuff than Slaughter. The second ballad `On my own' is a slightly generic "I want you back" song one might send out to an ex.
