What an album! Looks like a perfect three-words-definition of Sister Sin's third release. Slashing between the rough edge of early Motley Crue and L.A.Guns and the melodic violence of Judas Priest and Accept, and with Liv's spectacular pipes which is like a less-shrieking version of Vince Neil, Sister Sin can be a premiere attraction if this was released in 1985. But to avoid being outdated, the Swedish quartet wrapped up a necessary modern formula and it works perfectly fine with their music.
The anthemic opener of "Sound of The Underground" and the anger blasted on the heavy load of "Outrage" are alone will give you a strong hint of how great the journey ahead will become. "24/7" will take you back to 1983 where heavy metal still reign the world, the musical element is clearly inspired by Motley Crue, and this one is definitely the best tune of the album. "Heading For Hell" isn't slowing down a bit and they cranked it up even faster. Liv's roaring vocal is the song's highlight and "I Stand Alone" has some infectious chorus that'll stuck in your mind for weeks. Couple of songs might not as good as others, but the whole album is surely packed with no fillers.
The only thing bugging me is perhaps most of the tracks are shaped in a very similar fashion and some solos are too short, but other than that, this is a fine release, slightly better than their previous, and if they can keep up the pace, it'd be no surprise to have their masterpiece coming up next. A truly fantastic record !
