A Leppard's New Spots, August 6, 2006
This review is from: Skin Crawl (Audio CD)
I love Def Leppard. Who doesn't? For those of you looking for a Def Leppard clone band taking a familiar direction - don't buy this CD! Leppard's blistering guitar maestro Phil Collen takes an amazingly refreshing departure into his own very inventive style on this single. The eclectic new sound that can only be described as pure Man-Raze incorporates sounds of punk, reggae/dub, hard-driving rock, and some seriously wailing vocals courtesy of Phil's trademark gritty growl. The guitar, Collen's signature Jackson PC-1, manages to sound like an entire storehouse of different instruments, and then there's his ability to coax, tease and finesse an amazing array of squeals, screams, warbles, and rumbles out of what is theoretically wood and some strings! The enthusiastic Simon Laffy (formerly of Girl) crashes in with some of the biggest bottom I have heard in a song by a trio - you would think all three were bass players! Simon keeps up a mean, low, speaker-rattling bass accompaniment that keeps you itchy and on the edge of your seat, never allowing you to get too relaxed! And rounding off this incredible trio is the inventive driving backbeat of Paul Cook (the former Sex Pistol) who has learned that there's a lot more to hit with the sticks than just the drum, and showcases that admirably! This is the music of the future. There's nothing like it, but someday, new bands are going to be going for that Man-Raze sound...I did! you can't lose with this CD!

skin crawl cd, November 19, 2007
This review is from: Skin Crawl (Audio CD)
The music was good, but I wish I would have realized there were only a few songs on the CD. I paid enough for this cd I could have gotten a full length Def Leppard CD.
