I’m glad this one cost me nothing. It came with a bunch of other albums I acquired and I have to say, it’s not the best album in my collection.
Sweet Pain come across as a hybrid of the New York Dolls, The Sex Pistols, and any other bargain basement sleaze band of the Sunset Strip. The biggest annoyance is vocalist Corky Gunn, whose only talent seems to be that he hasn’t any. It’s as though they just grabbed any drunk off the street, gave him a mic, and said “there ya go”.
Kelly Nickels from Faster Pussycat was in the band and thankfully, they were much better. Ironically, the best song on the album is a cover of Starz’ Subway Terror (well, musically anyway).
If you see this for a dollar, buy it just for the comedic factor because it will at least make you laugh.
2/10 from The Grooveman.
