5.0 out of 5 stars Dee Snider's 'Desperado' finally sees the light of day., February 14, 2001

By	Andy De Vore "Andy" (NE) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Never Let the Bastards Wear You Down (Audio CD)

Dee Snider recorded his best album several years ago. Unfortunately, the record company went under and the album was never released. Until now. This disc is a compilation of unused Twisted Sister songs along with many of the tracks that should have been released under the Desperado moniker. Snider's voice is as powerful as ever and his band is incredibly tight. One listen through and you'll wonder why another record company didn'y release this years ago. Check out the opener, "Hard Core", a tribute to Lemmy. Also take a listen to Dee's cover of "The Wanderer". You won't be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Old school is back..., August 22, 2000

By	keith wright (NY, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Never Let the Bastards Wear You Down (Audio CD)

The new solo CD from former Twisted Sister frontman is a true throwback to the old school. In this age with all the rap-metal, punk-pop, and industrial metal sounds out there, its downright refreshing to hear an artist staying true to his sound. This album reminds me of Twisted's Stay Hungry album, but a bit heavier in places. The opening track "Hardcore" is a scorching tribute to Lemmy from Motorhead, one of the best tracks on the album. I would have preferred another original track as opposed to Dee's cover of the "Wanderer", but he actually pulls it off. The hooks and riffs are memorable, and transport you back to a simpler time when metal was metal,and not diluted like it is today. I would have preferred a couple more fast songs however, as most of the album is mid-tempo. Still, for fans of Dee and Twisted Sister, this is recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not You, Not Nobody Can Keep Snider Down!!!, June 20, 2007

By	LawrenceSvetlana (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Never Let the Bastards Wear You Down (Audio CD)

That just seems to be the way to say it, bad grammar and all. Dee Snider has compiled a beautiful cd, here. It's got all the NY back-alley, in-your-face, kicking-your-jewels songs like the first three songs that rock the listener into submission: "Hard Core" (it is); "Call My Name" (tough tune in the Snider indicative voice!), and "Our Voice Will Be Heard" (by that point, all you can say is, "Wow, gimme a brew & a cigarette"). "Isn't It Time" and "Cry You a Rainbow" are true Snider-themed ballads in the vein of "Suzette's Song" but with a much sleeker, up-to-date sound. My personal favorite: the NY hip-swingin', look-at-that-gal swagger found in "Sometimes You Win" (quite a lesson there!). "Ride Through The Storm" starts with the inverted, philosophical tone of "King of the Fools" but slides up into an up-beat rocker. This cd is a sure-bet for Twisted Sister fans who have been trying to recapture what might have been after their split-up and/or the fans who have followed Dee's gutsy live-or-die rock & roll attitude that's kept him in the game all these years. Nobody beats Dee. Buy this cd!
