Music reviews of Blow My Fuse
Music Review: Great 80s hair metal
Rating: 4 Stars
I was never a big "hair metal" fan in the 80s as I was mostly listening to Judas Priest, ACDC and Metallica. However, a friend brought me to see Kix at a small club in Boston in 1989 and I was blown away. The live show was great - these guys obviously had paid their dues for years on the stage, not just making "corporate" major label pop metal. I picked up "Blow My Fuse" as well as "Midnight Dynamite" and was quite impressed. These guys make catchy 80s metal - good riffs, great grooves and have a great vocalist. So why not 5 stars? The lyrics are just too juvenile - not just now in retrospect, but even as a teenager I realized that most of the songs were hokey and cliched (think first Extreme album). That being said, this is a great value if you like this style of music and are ok with silly lyrics.
Description of Blow My Fuse
Probably the best album from sadly defunct hard-rockers Kix. Never overwhelmingly popular, their only major hit (the anti-suicide ballad "Don't Close Your Eyes") is on this album. It's a radical departure from most of their material, which consisted mainly of good-time, party-on pop metal infused with genuine smarts and affection for the music. Hailing from Maryland, they incorporated the L.A. glam style into their music while maintaining a grittier edge that owed a good deal to AC/DC. This mix serves them very well on songs like "Get It While It's Hot," "Cold Blood," "Boomerang," "Dirty Boys," and the title track. With considerably more substance than most 1980s pop metal, this album holds up much better than its contemporaries. --Genevieve WilliamsGlam CDs
