Music Review: Overlooked hard rock debut
Rating: 4 Stars
There are a lot of bands that were "overlooked" back in the late 80's and early 90's. When you really think about it, some of those bands deserved to be overlooked. There were a lot of hard rock bands from that era that just didn't stand out from the rest of the pack. Then there are bands like Babylon A.D., who despite having plenty of talent, never seemed to get the attention they deserved.
Released in 1989, the band's self-titled debut was a very solid hard rock/hair metal album. Babylon A.D. had a Warrant meets Tesla sound. It was melodic, but also bluesy with plenty of swagger. Jack Ponti (Surgin) wrote several songs for the album, which was a big help. His ballad "Desperate" is one of the best ballads I've ever heard; though neither Babylon A.D. nor Baton Rouge could make a hit out of it. Hard hitting songs like "Bang Go the Bells", "Hammer Swings Down" and "The Kid Goes Wild", make the album a rockin' good time, and one of the better "hair metal" offerings of the era.
This is a great hard rock album, and it's a real shame that more people didn't hear it. If you're a fan of the late 80's and early 90's hard rock sound, specifically bands like Wildside, Tora Tora, Tangier and Baton Rouge, you'll definitely want to check out Babylon A.D. Unfortunately, the debut is out of print and not easy to track down at a reasonable price.
