Sleeze Beez - Screwed Blued & Tattooed (1990)
TRACKLIST:
Genre => Hard Rock
Origin => Holland
Bitrate => 320
Info:
The majority of Sleeze Beez fans would agree that Screwed Blued & Tattooed, the band's first album for Atlantic and second album overall, is their best release. It is also their best-known release; when this album (which was recorded in 1988) came out in early 1990, pop-metal and hair bands were still huge. One thing Screwed Blued & Tattooed won't be accused of is being the most original album in the world. The Dutch headbangers' approach -- basically Mφtley Crόe meets Quiet Riot with traces of Van Halen -- wasn't going to win them any awards for innovation. Tracks like "Girls Girls Nasty Nasty" and "Rock in the Western World" are full of the usual sex/party clichιs that hair bands thrived on. Nonetheless, this is a fun party album, and even though the material is far from groundbreaking, it is likable and infectious. When this CD came out at the dawn of the '90s, Sleeze Beez had no idea that a few years later, the rock world would be taken over by grunge and alternative rock -- and that in 1992 and 1993, pop-metal and hair bands would be taking a commercial nose-dive.
