'In The Spotlight' marks a fresh start of the new sleaze metal sensation from Sweden, BABY JANE. Carrying the torch together with the likes of CRASHDIET, DYNAZTY, and HARDCORE SUPERSTAR, the awakening of these bands in the last few years made your head spin and think 'was Sunset Strip eventually relocated to Europe?'
'Raise Your Fist' kicks the door with such a gigantic riffs and massive chorus. 'My Behavior' slows down the tempo but not the quality. The band pumped up the momentum even further with another crazy track, 'Face Against The Wall'. If you pay attention to the vocal part, you may spot a little accent trouble, but talking about how he handles the screaming and singing style, Freddie deserved two glasses of beer here.
'Upside Down' is a piano ballad attempt to ease the assaulting waves of aggressive tunes, and it's a perfect insertion before they cracked up high with the best tune of the album, 'In The Spotlight'. The next tracks such as 'Next In Line' and 'Adrenaline' are as great as the rest but 'Night Explodes' might be the closest contender to the title track. The production is awesome and this album creates a surprising blast from start to finish!
