The reasOn.........2007-07-09

I'm writing a review of this cd and not the release of "Inside The Electric CircUs" without "The Headless Children" is the economic value of purchasing both albums at once.SOngs such as "Mantronic" lead you into the Sci Fi world of Blackie and Co.."Restless Gypsy"'s a wilD time..Sexy ("95 Nasty"'S a shout out to woman if yOu ask me..)Sexy cd,original solos and chord combinAtions (No McDonalds "Combo meal" i.e routine daily arrangements here..)Beautiful acoustic mixed with electric guitArs..BoB Saget left me as My Amazon fRiend,I want him back..So Anyways,Blackie and company do a fine job there.I guess I'll mention "The Headless Children" as well,although "The Electric Circus"'s enough to base a five star rating on.I enjoyed that album also.I recall it had more of a classic rock feel to it.Really..The "Electric Circus" cassette is what I base the reviews rAtings on.

fine metal for a bargain price.......2006-06-20

The price of this collection is excellent for two above-average metal albums. And one must remember that the music itself is the real value here, because the collection's packaging is ugly, the original albums' artwork is poorly represented, and the few lines of notes (brief description of Blackie's career and the band's fortunes through the eighties) are unsatisfying. The comments particularly on the two albums here (Inside the Electric Circus and The Headless Children) are misleading, apparently written by someone who did not actually listen to the albums.

The music itself, though, is another story. Inside the Electric Circus, W.A.S.P.'s third album, remains a mild disappointment after the excellence of the first two (W.A.S.P. and The Last Command), but it nonetheless bears repeated listening and holds up better, twenty-plus years after its initial release, than most of the other metal released at that same time. Generally, the songs are a bit shallow, and the hooks aren't as catchy as those on W.A.S.P.'s first two efforts, but it still rocks, and occasionally (for example, on "Restless Gypsy") the album brings the same kind of shivers as those inspired by earlier songs like "The Last Command" or "L.O.V.E. Machine."

The Headless Children, on the other hand, represents a long musical stride forward for Blackie and the band. In emotional tone and musical form, it builds on the foundation formed by earlier successes such as "Sleeping in the Fire" and "Widowmaker" and is easily the most lyrically mature and musically ambitious album that W.A.S.P. had produced to that point. Stressing politics and emotions over sex, and frequently eschewing the standard binary song structure in favor of more complex arrangements, The Headless Children is the rarest of metal beasts: the heavy, head-banging album that actually has things to say *without* becoming pretentious, boring, or preachy.

Short answer: This is a damned fine collection.

Album #3 and still going strong. Ladies and Gentlemen..............2004-12-03

A lot of people thought W.A.S.P. was going soft with this album, but they were mistaken. One listen to 'Shoot from the Hip' was all you had to hear that Blackie was still on a rockin' rollin' rampage of sex, violence, and debauchery.

At the time this album was released, the PMRC was in it's full fury. Tipper Gore had targeted W.A.S.P. as one of the worst bands ever. Blackie had to bow a little and remove the periods in between the letters of "WASP" and this is the only album where this happens. With the next album "Live... in the Raw" the dots were back as drops of blood and have been there ever since. Also on this album Johny Rod from King Kobra came in to assume bass duty as Blackie went to the guitar for the first time on a W.A.S.P. album. Randy Piper, an original member, was now gone.

The opening is a bit corny, but you gotta realize that Blackie is the ringleader and afterall, someone needs to welcome you inside the madness, so it might as well be him.

The opening track is the title track and it's awesome. One of the best opening guitar riffs W.A.S.P. ever did. The song is full of energy, rampant, and exciting. The next tune, the cover of "I don't need no doctor" is simply awesome. '95 Nasty' should have been a hit, but it's still played live to this day.

Not everyone liked 'Mantronic', but I liked it. A bionic man with balls of steel is always a great idea for a tune. "King of Sodom and Gommarah", "Sweet Cheetah", and the closer "The Rock Rolls on" are also standouts.

This is a great album.

Enter the circus at own risk!.......2007-07-10

I'll admit I waited to review this album last, because I hadn't listened to it since the day I bought it; nearly three years ago. This was one album by W.A.S.P. that I was originally turned off by, due to the rather shoddy production. Recently, I put the album back in, and after two straight days of listening to it, I find myself appreciating it much more!

1. The Big Welcome - I liked this opening "skit." It was dark, and very much like something the band would do at the time. Fits the album perfectly! 4/5

2. Inside The Electric Circus - Very heavy stuff here! Classic 80's hair metal W.A.S.P. These guys just seem to have a blast rocking out. A do detect a hint of "The Last Command" in this song as well. Pretty cool. 4.5/5

3. I Don't Need No Doctor - This was one song that took me awhile to enjoy. Being a cover, I thought the band could have done a better job. Pretty heavy here, and a very catchy chorus. 3.5/5

4. 95-N.A.S.T.Y. - Perhaps the hit single from the album that almost everyone has heard. Very cool song. Again, relates directly to that 80's hair metal style that we all love! To me, the beginning sounded something like AC/DC would do in one of their songs! 4.5/5

5. Restless Gypsy - I think this is the under-rated gem of the album! It has an awesome beginning, sounding something similar to a Van halen tune. Kicks right into Blackie and his effortless vocals! Awesome track! 5/5

6. Shoot From The Hip - This song is another about pure rock n' roll! A fun song that just rocks in pure W.A.S.P. fashion! I didn't care for this song at first, but it will grow on you. 4/5

7. I'm Alive - Along with "Restless Gypsy" this song is another under-rated gem from this album. A heavy feel to it, it makes you want to rock out! One of those anthems that the band puts on each album to get the fans pumped! Again, a lot of "Last Command" feel to it as well. 5/5

8. Easy Living - Keeping with the heavy theme, the band again rocks out to another cover song. To me, it was a bit better than IDNND but the taste is within everyone's own personality. 4/5

9. Sweet Cheetah - Again, the band has that raw 80's energy about them. Lyrics are pretty cheesy, but the song has the W.A.S.P. feel and that's all that matters. 4/5

10. Mantronic - I like this song a lot. It has a lot of elements that show up in later works by the band. Again, the lyrics may not be the deepest, but the overall rock feel to it is amazing. The band plays strong and cohesively on this track as well! 4.5/5

11. King Of Sodom And Gomorrah - I have no idea what the title is about, but the song is pretty cool. This song has that "Animal" feel to it. the band just seems to have a lot of fun here and it makes for a killer song! 4.5/5

12 The Rock Rolls On - This is a pretty cool way to end the album on a technical standpoint. Classic W.A.S.P. Can you say "Blind In Texas?" Listen to that and you have this song! 4/5

13. Flesh And Fire (Bonus Track) - This song is awesome and I'm glad it made it as a bonus track on the album. Classic feel about heavy partying and rock n' roll! 4/5

14. D.B. Blues (Bonus Track) - This song is cool because its something you may not be used to hearing from W.A.S.P. has a bluesy tone to it, and the message is funny! 4/5

Overall, this album is a pretty good gem that many may under-rate. I almost made that mistake and wrote this one off. Don't! It is well worth it for any fan of W.A.S.P. and/or 80's metal!

W.A.S.P. - 'Inside The Electric Circus' (Navarro).......2006-09-04

Never could understand as to why some fans as well as critics never liked this third record release(1986)from W.A.S.P. Personally,I've always dug it AS much as I did their self-titled debut,that has become HARD to beat.Classic '80's metal here for the taking.Tracks that I've always been partial to are "95-Nasty",the head-riveting "Shoot From The Hip","Sweet Cheetah" as well as their two extremely well done covers,Humbie Pie's "I Don't Need No Doctor" and Uriah Heep's "Easy Living".Long live Blackie Lawless and crew!Essential.

The third and as solid as their first two.......2006-07-03

Out of all the Wasp albums I gave the first four releases each five stars- Headless Children got four and the rest are all dissapointing.

This is the Wasp album that most frequently is in my cd player- and every song is great. No filler- songs like Mantronic, Sweet Cheatah, and Restless Gypsy are what metal is about. No politics, whining, or sappy love ballads, just music that brings back the good times- when music was about sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Thanks Blackie.

Get the re-issue as it has the classic "Douchebag Blues"

one of the best!!!.......2005-08-02

I have enjoy it a lot!!!! Besides, Headless Children, Crimson Idol their peak!!!

One of the best albums W.A.S.P. has released!.......2005-04-11

Inside the Electric Circus was W.A.S.P.'s third album in as many years. While there are many people who find Inside the Electric Circus to be a mixed bag, I personally find it to be one of WASP's finest albums. Songs like Inside the Electric Circus, 95 Nasty, Shoot from the Hip, I'm Alive and a couple of cover tunes I Don't Need No Doctor and Easy Livin' prove that this is one of WASP's best albums. Both 1984's WASP and 1985's The Last Command were good, but with Inside the Electric Circus, Blackie and the boys wrote a stronger batch of songs. Side 1 is flawless, and the second side is almost as strong. WASP are one of those great underated bands.
