After the sensational epic PLASMATICS who from the beginning of the 80s, married Metal and Punk in excess and provocation, singer and performer Wendy O'WILLIAMS launched solo, in this case led by Gene Simmons, KISS bassist. If we add the holdings of Paul Stanley, Eric Carr and Ace FREHLEY, one might think that the lady was a bit swallowed up by his new mentor. Indeed, we evolve here in the Hard Heavy very square, with big riffs, huge choruses and rhythmic with grandiose choruses. Very KISS all. Quality certainly but Wendy had perhaps lost a little of his personality. Fortunately, her husky timbre took tagged compositions to fairly hostile territories. Too bad this very solid opus has not won wider recognition of the public to it. Alain Lavanne
