I wanna metal ya...

Genre: NWoBHM

This single by NWoBHM obscurity 7 Year Itch is actually quite good, and it's a shame that the band did not amount to more.

"Ooh Ya Hah" is a weird title but it reflects the nonsensical vocal line in the song, which, I must admit, sounds more like a rookie yoddler who's showing off what he learned in his very first yoddling class. The song has a considerable build up, which I think is drawn out a bit too much, but the band deserves credit for trying. Once the midtempo song kicks it, it is actually quite good and even has some Rush-like qualities to it.

Soe foes "I Wanna Make Ya", which sounds a bit like a non-technical band inspired by Rush (and that's, I guess, what we are dealing with here). I really like this song as it has a nice uplifting drive to it which just makes one rock along to it.

This release is recommended to fans of hard rock, traditional heavy metal and, of course, NWoBHM aficionados.
