D2's Best So Far.......2007-04-18
MONKEY BUSINESS well represents what such D2 rock is. It's catchy yet wild side rock is burned hot. SLIPPED HER THE BIG ONE pursues the wild side further and fourth track mellows with acoustic ballad well memorable and remnicent of similar styled Firehouse's LOVE OF THE LIFETIME. Then the next track roars with wild and aggressive rocker GET YOUR S##T TOGETHER which is also refained in the last track D.F.N.S. And their drive goes again in CRAZY NIGHTS an uplifting roller coaster rocker. EVERYBODY WANTS SOME is really a classic tone somewhat like WHITESNAKE. The next one DON'T BLAME IT ON LOVE again a taste of classic rock somewhat like BON JOVI and LOVERBOY combined. Then they surges with killer ballad Gun's and Roses might excel. COMIN' HOME. Then HORNY SOB is wow punk pop somewhat like GREEN DAY.It's incredible that they still charm us with the final ballad FIND YOUR WAY BACK HOME. Last two tracks can be treated just as epilogues and some listeners can skip them. In a nutshell, this piece of rock work could be the best the era might ever have got.
Verdict: Underrated yet a masterpiece rock of 1991.
Rating: 97 out of 100. Without the last S##T tracks this could have been 100.
Recommended for: Wide range of late 80s to early 90s rock fans who also love 80s and 70s classic rock.
Absolutely Over the Top Hair Metal Gone Wild!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-09-29
1. Monkey Business (8.5/10): Solid hard rock tune about getting "Naughty Naughty" if you will--most of the whole album's about that. Chorus is a little staid, but some verse lyrics are quite clever (it takes one to know one, and baby I've known some, if you know what I mean...) The "Ginger Snaps" bit is just a tom-tom intro with a lot of samples; they could have skipped that.
2. Slipped Her the Big One (7.5/10): Yeah, they really are talking about what you think they are...again. This is more of a groove tune, where the rhythm section drives the song. It's a little unimaginative and the chorus is kind of flat compared to the rest of the album. You'll either love or hate the keyboard riff that sounds like whistling. But the sheer amount of masculine bravado involved here is staggering.
3. Beat the Bullet (9/10): Things are starting to pick up now...a hard rock song that's more serious. Has nice acoustic guitars layered in on the chorus. Ted Poley, the singer, shines on this one. The "C'est Loupe" part is an atmospheric prelude with keyboards that works quite nicely. Vain used this title, too.
4. I Still Think About You (10/10): Ahh...the ultimate acoustic hair metal ballad! Did Poison do "Every Rose" first? Yes, but this is a great song with a lot of emotion and great guitar tones. Very similar to Warrant's "Heaven", where the chorus slams in suddenly. Ted Poley is very emotional here, and carries this song quite nicely. The lyrics are simple, but heartfelt. About a girl he broke up with, but can't forget.
5. Get Your [...] Together (10/10): Upbeat boogie tempo...and something you've always wanted to say to someone, I'm sure. Starts with a sample from TV or a movie, and just breaks into a hard rocking, fun tune. David Lee Roth would be proud. Go ahead, play it and try not to smile. You can't.
6. Crazy Nites (11/10): My favorite song, pure hard rock bliss. Think of "Fallen Angel" by Poison, except instead of some whiny lyrics about hollywood's lost starlets, a cool tune about hanging out with your friends and "looking for some action", not having any money, but not caring. Andy Timmons rules on this. They even end by singing a bit from Janice Joplin's "Piece of My Heart", which has a similar chord pattern. It's just the ultimate I-don't-care-let's-party tune. You can't beat it, you won't. [Any pomo cultural studies people out there? This is what Barthes meant by "jouissance"--now clean it up...]
7. Puppet Show (8.5/10): Andy Timmon's solo guitar piece. Starts out with some fairly clean chromatic jazzy runs, and then someone else interrupts him, only to tell him to turn it up. Then he plays a lot of sweeping arpeggios and fast runs. Well done, not breaking any new ground. He never stops to let loose and put some emotional notes in, but he does that in a lot of other songs, and you'll be impressed by this. I like the whole setup of it. "Andy??? Andy!!! Come on, man, turn it up!" Timmons is a much more versatile player than he shows here.
8. Everybody Wants Some (9/10): Do not confuse with the Van Halen song of the same name. This has the same sort of groove as Warrant's "Cherry Pie", where the drums carry the tune, and the guitars punctuate it. The funniest, most adolescent lyrics on the whole album, but they're totally brilliant. Parody or Transcendence? You decide! (Can't live without it my obsession runs deep...well I say screw it, my mom and dad do it, and that's good enough for me...) I nearly fell on the floor when I first heard it.
9. Don't Blame It On Love (10/10): Hard rock tune, similar to a souped-up take on Pat Benetar, but with a lot of backing vocals. More serious, but a great tune. My favorite moment is when Ted Poley sings "I'm more than a face, baby, I've got a name" and then, as an aside, he says "But you can forget it". His attitude in that moment makes the song. The backing vocals on this song (Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) are deep, which makes it very interesting and somewhat unique for hair metal.
10. Coming Home (9/10): Don't confuse this with the Cinderella tune of the same name. This one's better. A mid-tempo song with strummed acoustic guitar throughout. Very much like Motley Crue's "Don't Go Away Mad" without the hard part. (And that's a good thing.) A nice, emotive song that is a lot more low key than anything else so far on the record. This wouldn't embarrass Bob Seeger or John Mellencamp, though it's not quite Mellencamp material.
11. H.S.O.B. (6/10): Another hard, fast song. In fact, the hardest thing on the record. (I'm going to leave that one where I found it...shame it's not a long song as well....) You want to guess what it's about? I'm sure the title told you already. Van Halen's "I'm The One" is about the right tempo to match, but this is just so blatently adolescent in comparison. Weird thing: Andy Timmons uses a talk box (you know, that Peter Frampton thing) on this song, which actually makes it interesting. Casual listeners should stop listening here and be completely satisfied.
12. Find Your Way Back Home (3/10): Uggghhh. Does a hair metal album really need three ballads? Does it need *two* with "home" in the title? This would have been better left off the record. It's overly sentimental and gushy. The wheezy keyboard sound is thin and gross. When the song picks up, it does sound a lot like the Beatles. They were trying something different here, and I'll give them credit for that. The song's not so bad when you get used to it, but your first reaction will be negative.
13. Yeah, You Want It! (8/10): This is a RAP song, and it even samples the song "Naughty Naughty" from their first record! This must have taken an unbelievable amount of courage to put on the record. They rap with a style that's exactly like the Beastie Boys. One guy imitates Ringo Starr at one point. It takes the requisite shot at Tipper Gore, and throws in references to L.A. Guns, Enough 'Z' Nuff, and Poison. It has a guitar solo in it, which actually blows the mood a little. But here they are, letting it all hang out, having a good time without their sound. This is irony, yet it affirms who they present themselves as, making me think the album is NOT a parody. If this song is a parody, it makes everything else seem serious. But this song is not a parody. It's a farce.
14. D.F.N.S. (10/10): I still can't figure out what the initials stand for. Anyway, it's a quick (presumably drunken) acoustic party rendition of "Get Your...Together". The perfect way to end the album. Parallels? White Lion's "Bee-bop-a-lula, she's my baby" right before they break into "All You Need Is Rock and Roll".
...so those are my thoughts. This is one of my favorite records of all time. The production is great and huge, the guitars are warm and crispy. The drums sound immense. There's not too much reverb. I hate the album cover, and I almost didn't buy it because of that. A lot of good hair metal records have pictures of the band on the cover, or an attractive female model, or a hot car, or a cityscape. This one sort of breaks the genre convention as far as artwork.
Ted Poley left after recording the follow-up to this record. The core of the band is the bassist and drummer, Bruno Ravel and Steve West. Those guys still record with another singer names Paul Laine. Andy Timmons frequently joins them. I haven't heard any of their newer stuff to compare, but you can order it from their website.
Verdict: If you like 80s bands, and you like music that's about having a good time (and not whining "What's This Life For?" or "I'm Still Alive") this is great stadium arena rock. It's a shame there aren't bands like this popular now. The closest thing we have is The Darkness, but that's not the real thing. This is. Buy It. Amen.
As a personal note, I saw Danger Danger live at Club Bone' in NJ before they broke up. I have also played some guitar in my day, so apologies if the review is a little guitar-centric.
Not bad, but this band really has better...........2004-04-01
Hits: Beat The Bullet, I Still Think About You, Crazy Nights, Don't Blame It On Love, Comin Home, Find Your Way Back Home
Misses: Everything else.
If you dig this band, scoop up their debut, self titled disk. 10 of the 11 tunes there are great.
I also recommend, "Cockroach" - a disk that was slated for release in 1993, but Sony pulled the plug. It was eventually released by the band on their website http://www.dangerdanger.com in 2002 and rocks. They include two versions of the disk - one with original singer Ted Poley and one with new singer Paul Laine. Both are great. Hits and misses:
Hits: Still Kickin, When She's Good She's Good, Shot O' Love, Afraid Of Love, Goin Goin Gone, Don't Break My Heart Again
Misses: The rest.
Still the Same.......2003-12-24
