When I heard that vocalist Jason McMaster had left Watchtower to hook up with these guys I was a bit confused, as you can’t get much further apart in musical terms than those two bands. However, it all makes sense when you play this record as his voice fits like a glove and this album actually sold really well and was certified gold.
The two singles open up the album: Teas’m Pleas’m and Scared. This was a really good call as they are the most commercial tracks. Scared is a great tune and my favourite on the album.
It’s the deeper cuts that do it for me though. Bones In The Gutter has a crazy little groove and nice riff. Take Me Drunk is funky as hell and the hook and chorus are awesome. Outlaw has a crazy opening riff and a cool middle section.
Dangerous Toys are not your typical sleaze band and there’s a lot going on here if you give it time.
8/10 from The Grooveman.
