Second album by this female fronted U.S. metal band hailing from America. Front woman Jill Janus sounds rather hoarse if you compare her singing style with the debut album. Sometimes Leather Leone (does anybody still know her?) enters my mind. In a way the more raw singing also sticks to the music, so if you don't know the debut album you will probably like it. Besides that she sometimes growls to make the music more aggressive. The songs are a bit the same like on the debut, just well played U.S. metal with a kind of "Painkiller" (Judas Priest) touch.

The title "I Want to Fuck You to Death" catches the eye for sure and if I tell you that the lyrics are from the hand of Lemmy, for certain. It seems though that Lemmy wrote the lyrics from a female point of view and not his own... The faster songs are my favorite songs and the nice riffs and refrains make this an album that is rather easy to listen to from start to finish. On the other hand, I don't know if this will bring them a big step further, because I don't think it tops their debut album.

Those of you who like the first album, will like this one too.
