Questions about W.A.S.P - Helldorado album

[Psychobolia.com]

I've never listened to this entire album, is it worth hearing or am I better off opening my windows and enjoying the ambient noise from my street...?

[HueyRamone]

The latter.

my first disappointing album with WASP.

Two good songs, Damnation Angels, and High on the Flames. The rest sucks.

I have the orange vinyl but never listened.
But I do know ‘dirty balls’ rocks

[Mister Freeze]

I remember watching a presidential primary debate and the candidates were asked about their "favorite song" They all gave pandering answers like "Born in the U.S.A."

I wanted just one of them to say "Dirty Balls" by W.A.S.P.

This but not even sure there are any good songs!

[DemonFilth2001]

I don’t think I’ve ever heard it. I think I had The Crimson Idol and it was absolutely terrible. I was done with them.

[Vince Neil Eats]

Major disappointment after KFD.

[Lobo]

It's an okay album, I like about 6 songs.

[Chip Z'Hoy]

There is a song called "Dirty Balls."

Another song is called "Don't Cry (Just Suck)"

[rockker]

Major disappointment after KFD.

Agreed

[HueyRamone]

Major disappointment after KFD.

Agreed

Also agreed.

[Stinky McFister]

Go listen to KFD instead

[BritniTaiste]

It’s good. Big dumb WASP, after they tried going industrial Marilyn Manson it’s a throwback to the earlier records. Admittedly it’s not as good as those but not terrible either.

[Michael Hotts Ghost]

When I saw the thread title, I thought one of the questions was going to be about the Dirty Balls intro. Ammonia balls have eyes lol

[HORRORHOLIC1979]

My least favorite W.A.S.P. album

[TREVERLAST]

I remember liking it & thinking of it as their return to old school W.A.S.P I haven't listened to it in years though.

[TravisBicklesMohawk]

Given the song titles, I'm gonna guess this was before he found Jesus.

On that note, most of the songs are actually pretty decent. Forgettable, but decent.

[metalmike76]

Pretty weak, most songs have the same riff. It’s like WASP trying to be AC/DC

Damnation Angels is full on Hell's Bells... at least the intro.

I always heard a half assed Widowmaker

[Canadian dirtbag]

Helldorado was an attempt at a "we're going back to our roots" album.
The album can best be described as "trying too hard."
And Blackie's vocals are all screaming. I mean yes, he has always been a screamer-style singer but this album takes it to a whole new level of annoying. The album becomes one big blur of noise and you're glad when it's over.

[BritniTaiste]

I also think I have soft spot for it in that when it came out in 1999 there wasn’t much in the way of “80’s metal” releases. That was the height of nu-metal/industrial/alterna/limp bizkit shit.

Exactly. I was just happy to see a band like W.A.S.P releasing a new album that wasn't industrial.

Yes you are spot on
