Description

Awesome private hardrock album. Reviewed in the great Acid Archives and featured in Hans Pokora's Record Collector Dreams. Here's what the Acid Archives had to say about it, "No Rest For The Wicked" is surely one of the greatest hard rock albums of all time. It's tightly constructed and tightly played, with more memorable riffs and solos than the entire careers of a dozen other similar bands. The bass playing is monstrous and the drumming solid but, believe it or not, tasteful. The singing is only average, and the band tends to compensate with multi-tracked, highly reverbed lead vocals, not really the worst way to deal with the issue. An song that illustrates the best features of the band is "The Light," which opens with a combination of low and high guitar riffs, a melodic bass line and precise rhythm guitar. Not too many bands could resist the urge to go crazy with extra solos or spastic drumming, but this just works its way through a cleverly composed pattern, creating the right kind of tension and intensity. It's perfect. The best song is probably the nine-minute "Remember," a complete smorgasboard of melodic and dissonant riffs and hooks. This album doesn't have a lot of overdubs, but the production is quite professional, and it's heavy from start to finish-not a wussy moment on it. Guaranteed to blow the mind of any mainstream hard rock fan, and, of course, it sounds equally good to those of us who enjoy Tin House and Sir Lord Baltimore as much as Blue Oyster Cult and Black Sabbath. This is one of those albums where you keep thinking "the next song can't possibly be as good as what's come before," but it always is.[AM]" No reserve auction! Check out my other rare LP auctions.
