A few months ago I started a thread called "Whatever happened to W.A.S.P." as I used to be a big fan right up `til Blackie Lawless supposedly split the band in `94.
I hadn`t bought any of their CDs since as I thought they would be pretty goofy.
However, since starting that thread I bought all the albums since then and they are pretty good.
(Except 1999`s really shitty "Helldorado", which is a thankfully brief return to crass cock rock. Titles include "Dirty balls" and "Saturday night cockfight". DUH!)
Special mention to 1997`s "KFD", which has a Nine inch nails kind of vibe to it, and 2001`s "Unholy terror", a close relation to `89`s classic "The headless children", mixing metal and politics.
Perhaps that`s the problem as the band never seem to stick to a focused direction for long.
Anyway, in an age when good metal albums are hard to come by, W.A.S.P. have made a few.
