Review by Darren Gawle
Maybe it's all those months without sunshine, or maybe it's the slash'n'burn
Viking heritage, but they sure like that Heavy Metal, those Swedes
do. And Drain S.T.H. are four women here to show us twelve different
ways that Alice in Chains could have covered the Scorpions' "Winds
of Change."
Actually it's not all that bad; opening track "I Don't Mind" had enough hooks in its chorus to keep my finger off the fast forward button for 3:42, and they slip in enough female sensibilities to make the lyrics rise above being two-dimensional (they're at least two-and-a-half dimensional). Still, this is fairly humourless stuff, as exemplified by "Mirror's Eyes" ("Burnt the cradle to the ground / Created a beast of sadness / Now I'm searching to be found.").
"Stonking!" as my friend Matt from Nottingham would say. But, unfortunately, not "stonking" enough.
