France’s Lorie is being called “the Britney Spears of France” by many of her fans, but her debut album, Près de Toi is more like Debbie Gibson or Tiffany.
I recall the instant plug-me-in magic of British Steel, and the inevitable ascendance of the band (like watching Metallica blow up with Masters of Puppets).
Broke the bank by visiting three areas: Songs reminiscent of British Steel, songs reminiscent of Point of Entry, and songs heavier than anything on either.
Heavier still than Screaming…, even if the production was more synthetic and drummer Dave Holland seemed even less necessary as a paid member of the band.
