Extremely Formulaic MTV Glam
During the mid to late 80's there was an absolutely glut of sleazy glam metal bands. MTV would debut a new pick of the month and one of the bands to roll through was Warrant. Their debut album had everything the record company ordered, a rockin' intro single "Down Boys," and big power ballad, "Heaven," a pretty boy lead singer, Jani Lane, and a light enough touch that hopefully the girls would buy the album too.
Absolutely nothing here is remarkable other than the tunes are hummable enough. Lane's pipes aren't anything as amazing as Mark Slaughter or Sebastian Bach. The guitarists (what were their names anyway) played a few seconds of flash to fill space. It was all very safe and sold some records. Of course, on the next album, the band would really cash in by rewriting Def Leppard's sellout song which was itself a ripoff of Loverboy.
Bottom Line: This bands fifteen minutes were over a long time ago.
