Product Description

Brides of Destruction entered the studio with veteran producer Andy Johns (Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and Free) at the end of 2004. The result of this incredible union "Runaway Brides" is a staggering collection of street lethal rock and roll, imbued with both the classic rock & roll spirit and the edge of modern youth.

1.0 out of 5 stars Drop the Nu from the Metal Please, December 16, 2005
By G.Q. (Pismo Beach, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Tracii Gunns hooking up with Nikki Sixx and John Corabi sounded like the best thing since the "Use Your Illusion" albums. Just like those albums, the Brides of Destruction left with something to be wanted. Corabi left before anything happened, which is a shame, because had Corabi stayed, the songs would have been greatly written, as well as having the strong voice that is John Corabi.

Anyway, enough of my rant about missing Corabi (I call him Jesus), this album is also without Nikki Sixx, who seems to me like the only real strong songwriter for the group. Tracii is a phenomenal guitarist, but he needed Paul Black or Phil Lewis to do the writing in L.A. Guns. "American Hardcore" proved that.

So what's with this album? How is it?

Well, to be honest, none of the songs have good hooks or are catchy. The wordplay is weak, and the rhymes can be seen from miles away. London LeGrand, while a competent vocalist on "Here Come The Brides," fails to impress on this record. His screams are weak and it sounds like he was sick while recording the whole thing. Likewise, Tracii's guitar solos seem awkward and out of place on the album.

The sound doesn't come off good. From their Sleaze Metal debut they come out with an album dropping the Sleaze and picking up the Nu. Seriously, this is a Nu-Metal album. The riffing is just like Nu-Metal bands, not like real Metal or Rock n' Roll groups. It makes the album even worse.

Standout tracks?

None. I'm sorry to say.

So overall, I give this album 1 star, except for my copy, which recieves 2 stars for the simple reasoning that it's signed by the band. I don't even have it with my other CDs, in a nice leather bound carrying case. Instead, it's still in the box art, signed by the band, because I heard it once, and I don't want to hear it again.

Don't buy this. Get L.A. Guns "Tales From The Strip" and you'll be glad you did. While no Tracii, his replacement (ex-Roxx Gang. A guy you've never heard of) fits perfectly with Phil Lewis. Probably makes Tracii regret ever leaving the Guns for the Brides.

Take off the dress, and pick up the revolver Tracii, that's all I'm saying.

1.0 out of 5 stars BY ALL MEANS....STAY AWAY FROM THIS CD!!!, November 26, 2005
I really liked the first BoD CD. So, I was excited to buy this one when it came out. Now that I have it, all I can say is: Anyone who ever questioned Nikki Sixx's songwriting ability...just listen to this CD. His absence is GLARING!!! There are NO stand out songs on this CD. Every song just drags along with no hook or melody or ANYTHING you can hang your hat on. I've never been more disappointed in a sophomore release. All four guys need to move on now....the Brides have Destructed!

4.0 out of 5 stars Raw L.A. with PUNK attitude, October 7, 2005
By Buck Dingo (Jacksonville, FL) - See all my reviews
Hey now, there have been some unkind reviews of this CD. Just because Nikki left doesn't mean you have to turn your backs on the band. Get this, the production sounds like Ratt's first e.p. They have a sick garage sound - but it's dirty and works for this record.

I have been listening to metal (anything from Poison to Slayer) for 20 years and I am feeling this CD. After digesting the CD for the past two weeks I find myself singing the songs in the shower and then rocking out to them on the way home from work. White Trash is addictive, Porcelain Queen is a very well writen mid tempo tune, Tunnel of Love could have been a huge hit in '88 - and today is just fun to listen to. There are at least 4 -5 more songs that are worth the purchase of this CD.

If you have been disappointed by some of the recent desperate releases from has been metal bands - this is the CD to buy. It has solid guitar work, sing along choruses, and it's delivered with a punk attitude. Check it out - you'll agree with me....
