Mjöllnir
Essentially a second-rate Bon Jovi style band with a few more dollops of cheese and an intense hair metal aesthetic, Danger Danger's first album is highly polished but forgettable disc. Very much a late comer to this scene, which was on the cusp of being overrun by grunge and the turned backs of an unforgiving public. I just find a lot of the songs very ho-hum and by numbers with a lack of the essential hooks that this music thrives on. Opener "Naughty Naughty" and "Bang Bang" are obviously the potential hits and stick in the mind most, being well done but wincingly formulaic nonetheless. Even songs where the chorus is memorable such as "Rock America" seem very flat in their execution despite the obvious enthusiasm of the band.

I don't have much else to say on this one really, but it highlights the big problems these sorts of semi imitation bands face and accentuates the strengths of forerunners such as (again) Bon Jovi. The second album I found to be much more enjoyable, even by that time this music was virtually dead and buried in the mainstream.
