I first purchased the BulletBoys self-titled debut on cassette when I was in middle school - this was just prior to me getting into Depeche Mode and New Order (via 101 and Substance respectively). Indeed, what a beautiful swan song for my teenage buttrock/hair-metal days. I always loved this album from start to finish, it’s a solid chunk of highly listenable 80s metal that never fails to satisfy. . . I mean, if you are the type of person that would pay good money to see David Lee Roth perform in Vegas, remembers the first time they started appreciating Ratt, or feels sincere lament upon having heard of the Darkness going splitsville.
The recorded performances are inspired to be sure, some pitch perfect production from the era by Ted Templeman as well, but what makes the album as enjoyable as it is for me is knowing that in this day and age, the smooth song arrangement, effortless energy and rock-out-with-your-cock-out spirit that permeates each track with no exceptions through the approx 35 minutes of this release are a hard to come by commodity in this day and age.
