Our Take

Taken by the glitzy, glam-metal stylings of W.A.S.P.'s latest opus, "The Crimson Idol," one can't help but be transported to a time when hairspray reigned supreme and guitar solos were as plentiful as leopard print leggings. Frontman Blackie Lawless, sporting his trademark inscrutable scowl, leads the charge through a whirlwind of heavy riffs and anthemic choruses that harken back to a bygone era of excess and attitude. From the bombastic opener "The Titanic Overture" to the haunting balladry of "The Idol," W.A.S.P. pulls out all the stops in crafting a concept album that tells the tragic tale of Jonathan, a young musician grappling with fame, fortune, and the demons that lurk beneath the surface. The band's knack for infectious hooks and larger-than-life theatrics is on full display here, making for a wild ride that is as addictive as it is over-the-top. While some may scoff at the band's unabashed embrace of all things melodramatic and bombastic, it's hard to deny the sheer craftsmanship and passion that went into crafting "The Crimson Idol." Whether you're a diehard fan of '80s metal or simply curious to dip your toe into the glam-rock waters, W.A.S.P.'s latest offering is a must-listen for anyone with a taste for the extravagant and the larger than life.
