“Thundering” metal, vocals that sound like the singer’s trying to shit, and even the punk/Oi! anthems falls flat cuz the guitars are outta tune half the time.
Jani and Co. thickening and Whitesnaking their sound to match their new dope look. You can still filter the fact that this is empty party metal though.
A lot of good bands are on here, covering one of their favorite artists. You wouldn’t know they loved Bowie from this, though. These covers absolutely blow.
The hard-to-find material he recorded from ’83 to ’85, most of it in an appealing light-pop vein that suits his thin voice and none-too-overreaching lyrics.
This is mostly remixes, so I can dismiss the mediocre material as b-sides that should’ve never seen the light of day. Oh yeah, they cover “Shout at the Devil.”
