Sleeping my day away...

Genre: heavy metal

"No Fuel Left for the Pilgrims" is D-A-D's first proper metal album, and an old favorite of mine. Containing twelve hard rock and heavy metal albums, including the hit "Sleeping my Day Away", there are still some twang guitar soloes to be found, but other than that there are no traces of cowpunk or post-punk on this album. Actually, the twang guitar melodies work quite well against the backdrop of distorted heavy metal guitars.

"Jihad", "ZCMI", "True Believer", and "Siamese Twin" are uptempo heavy metal tracks with catchy 80s metal choruses. "Point of View", "Girl Nation", and "Lords of the Atlas" are more midtempo and more melodic tracks, containing a lot of catchy melodic hooklines. "Overmuch" is a catchy AC/DC-esque song, while "Rim of Hell" are slightly heavier "Wild Talk". "Ill Will" is the heaviest and hardest track on the album, which even contains some galloping guitar and other heavy metal klichés (come to think of it, it's probably me favorite track of the album).

I'd recommend this album to fans of traditional heavy metal, hard rock and glam metal alike.
