Desperate Measures

This is this New York band's second CD, released in 1991, and their last as far as I know. This sounds a bit more polished than their debut, from what I can recall of it, (not ever seeing a copy, except for a few friends who got it from the States). The running joke at the time was this was the new Ozzy album, as Eddie Sutton's vocals are clean and nasally. Well, imagine Ozzy crossed with some cool Bay Area type- riffing and solos, sort of like Metallica 'Master of Puppets' era, and with a hint of NYHC. Kind of neat to listen to these days, but by no means is it worth searching for. A solid album, and belongs in the library along other crossover records like Anthrax's 'Among The Living'.

The tracks are:
Make Me an Offer/ All About Dope/ Soft Way Out/ Stand For/ No Heroes/ Kingpin/ Who's to Blame/ Ball Hugger/ 2-Minute Warning/ The Future (Ain't What It Used To Be).
