Haven't heard these guys in a long time. Don't own anything by them but I have heard a few. This is their 14th studio album so they must be doing something right. Formed in L.A. in 1982, only 1 remaining member from the original lineup, frontman Blackie Lawless. The band name acronym stands for We Are Sexual Perverts, although that was later denied. This album is themed around the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. It contains two covers of Deep Purples Burn and Chuck Berrys Promised Land. Shouldn't have touched that one. The band has called it quits twice only to rise from the dead. Never noticed before but Blackie sounds just like Meat Loaf.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Promised Land

Best Track - Babylon's Burning

Listen close to hooves you hear
Are thunders coming dread
John the Revelator's dream
Had seen a terror vision
Of the spirit led
With wrath to reign
And with slaves to flame
They kneeled and sealed a kiss
Plagues and pain and fiery rain
And blaspheme on his lips

Babylon's a-burning, Babylon's a-burning
Six hundred 6, 6 and 7 seals
A pale rider and his horses sing
Babylon's a-burning, Babylon's a-burning
Six hundred 6, 6 the rising beast
Bears the mark of Babylon to be

Arising with the beast a sea of men
A bloody moon of red
A whore of Babylon to bleed the seed
And make 'em take the mark upon their heads

They bowed and kneeled a mark to seal
Their souls unto a kiss
With fire and flames and with
Souls to claim
And rise from the abyss

And I stood upon the sand of the sea
And saw a beast rise out of the sea
Having ten horns and seven heads
Ten crowns upon his head
Who is like unto the beast?
Given his mouth great things to speak
If any man has an ear
Let him hear, let him hear
