DANGEROUS TOYS – Hellacious Acres (1991) [Digitally Remastered] *Exclusive*
As requested, DANGEROUS TOYS‘ second album ”Hellacious Acres” in remastered form released as a 2-CD package including the band’s two first LPs.
Produced by Englishman Roy Thomas Baker, 1991’s “Hellacious Acres” is heavier than DANGEROUS TOYS’ first album however the songs are just as catchy and have a real bright anthem-like quality to them.
More mature in songwriting this album is indeed a ‘hellacious’ helping of loud, raucous, swaggering, from-the-gut hard rock. Vocalist Jason McMaster still sounds like he gargles every night with broken glass, but within the attitude-drenched confines of this musical style, it works like a charm.
With tons of attitude and really heavy approach opener “Gunfighter” is a blast, the catchy “Stick And Stones” and “Bad Guys” rock your socks off, “Sugar Leather And The Nail” delivers a killer riff, and there’s a strong power ballad in “Best Of Friends”.
Oh, and DANGEROUS TOYS kick ass with a muscular cover of Bad Company’s “Feel Like Makin’ Love”, where McMaster’s gritty vocals just owns this song.
