Blackie's First String

Considered by many fans the first album the band is regarded as their best. Even though my personal favorite unbeaten fifth concoction - "The Crimson Idol" - is, so you have the self-titled debut but notice one thing: It's an album without failure and such a big Hitdichte has Blackie only times on the aforementioned "The Crimson Idol "can gather. "WASP" is a hard, mangy Heavy Metal album and shows the band as it was still wild and hungry.

I wanna be somebody
A fast, catchy rock song with verses and a whipping singalong chorus first class. Until now indispensable in the live set of the band. Similar to "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple or "Highway to Hell" by AC / DC.
5/5 stars

Love Machine
"LO VE All I need is my love machine tonight ...!" Well, a crisp rock song, where it thematically - you guessed it probably already - to the beautiful game in the world goes. Chauvinistic, lewd and simply good.
4/5 stars

The Flame
Again in the category "Fast singalong Rocker", but the average level of the disk can not keep you. Still a good song.
3/5 stars

BAD
WASP have it in their titles with the points after each letter. A mangy Metal Rocker by Blackie - Title Access - aggressive his singing brings across.
5/5 stars

School Daze
The band takes to 4 Songs foot slightly off the accelerator and presents a rhythmic hard rock song that is created probably a little of Alice Cooper (remember "Schools out). Good song.
4/5 stars

Hellion
Great variations were not on disk no. 1. Again, a fast metal rocker with driving verses and a sing-along chorus. But in this song category do most AC / DC the band competition.
5/5 stars

Sleeping (in the Fire)
The first and only time it is a little quieter. An internet-based mid-tempo range rock anthem by Blackie explores his grater organ really.
5/5 stars

On Your Knees
To this day, this song is the opening of each WASP concert. An up-enhancing Heavy rocker with driving forward verses and catchy sing-along chorus. Top.
5/5 stars

Tormentor
After catchy metal rockers will now gained a lot harder. An uncompromising Metal song with aggressive guitar riffing and merciless evil refrain.
5/5 stars

The Torture Never Stops
Already the last song attracted the degree of hardness. Here is all the more enhanced. Hardener, aggressive and gloomy sounding WASP never again. An impressive final stroke
5/5 stars

Conclusion: As I said, to "The Crimson Idol" is for me not a WASP album; and "The Headless Children" I found better. But 3rd place in the WASP-History is also not bad.
