First, let me say that this album FUCKING ROCKS! The first impression that one might get from listening to some of the songs on this album is that these guys are a joke. Literally. Like in the vein of Spinal Tap or something like that. But really, this is just a glam metal band with a great sense of humor.
Along with the lyrics that are just as much fun to sing along with as laugh with, the music is anything but ordinary. This is not just plain, heartless, lyric-backing rock. The music grabs you by the throat and demands your attention. Try firing up the album and not instantly be in a better place while listening to "Death To All But Metal."
There are very few weak points to the album, though "Eyes of a Panther" is not my favorite. In general, the energy is at a pretty consistently high level. If you listen closely, you'll hear influences, if not almost-samples from the likes of Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Extreme and Whitesnake. Did I mention that they're essentially a glam metal band? DAMN is it great to hear new stuff like this again. This album was as exciting of a find as the Airbourne album "Runnin' Wild" was.So... pick up this album if you're looking to rock and have a great time. You won't regret the $8 MP3 download from iTunes or Amazon. For further information, check out their website, loaded with information, extras and media at http://www.steelpantherrocks.com/.
