This review is from: Nothing Sacred (Audio CD)

There are a lot of bands that were "overlooked" back in the late 80's and early 90's. When you really think about it, some of those bands deserved to be overlooked. There were a lot of hard rock bands from that era that just didn't stand out from the rest of the pack. Then there are bands like Babylon A.D., who despite having plenty of talent, never seemed to get the attention they deserved.

Babylon A.D's 1992 album Nothing Sacred was a very solid hard rock/hair metal album that followed in the same Warrant meets Tesla sound of the band's self-titled debut. The album is melodic, but also bluesy with plenty of swagger. The songwriting and lyrical content is weaker than it was on the debut album though. I think the absence of Jack Ponti (Surgin) as a songwriter really hurt the band, as he was responsible for some of the better tracks on the first album. It's still a pretty rockin' album, and is at least as good as anything Tora Tora or Tangier was putting out at the time.

While it may not be as good as its predecessor, Nothing Sacred is still a decent hard rock album that should appeal to most fans of the genre.

This is one of the greatest, I got this over 10 yrs ago. The best song is "So Savage The Heart" because not only do I like the music, I really like the lyrics. I also strongly recommend their first release

This album is very good. If you like heavy metal, then this album is worth checking out! My favorite track is#10. There are some infectious hooks on this record and great vocals.
