Once again a great Hardrock Highlight from the 80s that had minor success on the tail end of the glam movement. The Five-Man-Band Babylon A.D. with the Line-Up from Derek Davis (vocals), Danny De La Rosa (guitar), Ron Freschi (guitar), Jamey Pacheco (drums) and Robb Reid (bass) formed in Oakland, california in 1986. They became the first hard rock band ever signed to Arista records and the debut album reached the Top 100 on the Billboard charts during its 35 week run, due in part to the minor success of the single "Bang Go The Bells." Songs like „Hammer Swings Down“, „The Kid Goes Wild“ and „Maryanne“ are powerful rocksongs. An interplay of scratchy guitars quite who sets the tone, monotonous bass and a sustained singing rhythm. „Caught Up In The Crossfire“, „Back In Babylon“ and „Sweet Temptation“ rather are in the Mid-Speed overgrowned and beautifully to listen. With „Desperate“ and „Shot O´Love“ is the heart pain limit reached. The only gaffe of this CD is „Sally Danced“. You can rather put this song into the Blues-Corner. Imagine that you are in a smoky bar and a wonderful sexy Sally dance in front of every eye couple. A quite terrific performance of the guys.
You should have it actually in the shelf.
