But without the hooks. No good "pop" hooks on that pop metal album. Down For The Count had some.

Unfortunately, that's not saying much.
Ten, along with Contagious, are the worst Y&T albums. Even Down For the Count is better.

Nothing. I enjoy 2-3 songs from it, but it is largely absent the things I really enjoy most in King's X. Their stuff works a LOT better with the 3-part harmonies.

Re: Detonator is Ratt's underappreciated MASTERPIECE

Worst RATT album if you count out Collage. It's a Desmond Child album but without the hooks and choruses he used to deliver in the 80's. What's funny is that BLOTZ is credited as writer for two of three decents tracks on the album, Can't Wait on Love and One Step Away. Giving Yourself Away is third...

Not a masterpiece, but it was a step up from the two albums before. Shame Shame Shame is among their 10 best songs. Guitar sound it great throughout, and Warren gets a kind of groove to the rhythm playing that he hinted at on Reach FSK but he gets better here. The really obvious Desmond singles don'...

Re: Slash feat. Chris Stapleton - "Oh Well"

The riff/rhythm section really sucks, especially compared to original. Tempo is a bit staid, and it's just kind of clunky. But the vocal is cool, and Slash really gets it doing in the solo/jam section. Overall, I'll give this a B.
