 Boys will (still) be boys

I wasn't all that thrilled with Danger Danger's self-titled debut, but it was catchy enough that I took a chance on their 1991 follow-up Screw It when I saw it in a clearance bin. If I harbored any hopes that the band had matured a bit since the first album, they were put to rest when I flipped the case over and saw song titles like "Slipped Her the Big One" and "Horny S.O.B". Oh well, Screw It might not be the work of a wiser, more mature Danger Danger, but I doubt that's what people really want in a Danger Danger album.
With Screw It, Danger Danger basically took every element from the debut and turned it up a notch. The melodies are catchier, the production is shinier, Ted Poley's vocals are cleaner, the ballad (I Still Think About You) is cheesier, and the juvenile lyrics (on all of the rest of the songs) are so dumb they go beyond what the music will support. I mean, you'd expect songs like "Get Your S*** Together" and "Slipped Her the Big One" from Faster Pussycat or even the Bulletboys, but coming from the poppy, melodic Danger Danger it sounds like a kid trying out swear words for the first time. You're laughing at them, not with them. And what in the name of all that is holy is the horrible (even by white boy rap standards) "Yeah, You Want It" supposed to prove?
A 3-star rating is the best I can do, and I'm being generous. The songs on Screw It are melodic and catchy, but they're also as dumb as a box of rocks. I'm usually the first person to defend the 80's hair metal scene (well, me and Chuck Klosterman), but even I can't cough up much of a defense for this one. Listening to Screw It you can't help but feel the grunge invasion was justified and even necessary. |

I bought this disc, because I am a fan of Andy Timmons and wanted to hear his early playing.
Andy Timmons is great guitar player, but this CD is a bad example of hair metal. To me, it's sort of a cliche of what people remember of that style of music. I was a "metal" fan back then (still am), but this CD makes me cringe.
If you are an Andy Timmons fan, you might want it, just to see where he came from. |

Worthy Followup? Nah, "Screw it!"

| When Danger Danger's first album debuted, I was hooked. It was one of those rare albums with great tunes pretty much all the way through. With that in mind, I looked forward to the follow-up ("Screw It!") and was really disappointed. The quality of the songs just didn't hold up to the previous album. "Screw it!" falls prey to the dreaded "sophmore curse" - pass it up. |

 D2's Best So Far
Submitted on: 2007-04-18 |

Danger Danger's second effort in 1991 established their very style wild yet refined solid rock. And it appeals to the general rock fans far deeper than the debut I bet. They tries to grab what it's like to be the kingdom of rock'n roll previously well sought by the number of rockers including Journey, Kiss, Def Leppard, Foreigner and Survivor. They blend the classic rock foundation with newer twists well tried by Gun's & Roses, Poison. Also Bon Jovi or early Lover Boy styled fun pop elements well tucked in.
MONKEY BUSINESS well represents what such D2 rock is. It's catchy yet wild side rock is burned hot. SLIPPED HER THE BIG ONE pursues the wild side further and fourth track mellows with acoustic ballad well memorable and remnicent of similar styled Firehouse's LOVE OF THE LIFETIME. Then the next track roars with wild and aggressive rocker GET YOUR S##T TOGETHER which is also refained in the last track D.F.N.S. And their drive goes again in CRAZY NIGHTS an uplifting roller coaster rocker. EVERYBODY WANTS SOME is really a classic tone somewhat like WHITESNAKE. The next one DON'T BLAME IT ON LOVE again a taste of classic rock somewhat like BON JOVI and LOVERBOY combined. Then they surges with killer ballad Gun's and Roses might excel. COMIN' HOME. Then HORNY SOB is wow punk pop somewhat like GREEN DAY.It's incredible that they still charm us with the final ballad FIND YOUR WAY BACK HOME. Last two tracks can be treated just as epilogues and some listeners can skip them. In a nutshell, this piece of rock work could be the best the era might ever have got.
Verdict: Underrated yet a masterpiece rock of 1991.
Rating: 97 out of 100. Without the last S##T tracks this could have been 100.
Recommended for: Wide range of late 80s to early 90s rock fans who also love 80s and 70s classic rock. |

 Not bad, but this band really has better....

| I was 18 when this came out in 1992. I hung out with the band at New River Studios in Ft. Lauderdale when they recorded it and was a huge fan. The CD was delayed in coming out - and when it finally did (fall 1991), it didn't live up to they hype for me. Some fun tunes, but as a collective piece from that era, it lacked the punch their debut had. The hits and misses of "Screw It!" Hits: Beat The Bullet, I Still Think About You, Crazy Nights, Don't Blame It On Love, Comin Home, Find Your Way Back Home Misses: Everything else. If you dig this band, scoop up their debut, self titled disk. 10 of the 11 tunes there are great. I also recommend, "Cockroach" - a disk that was slated for release in 1993, but Sony pulled the plug. It was eventually released by the band on their website http://www.dangerdanger.com in 2002 and rocks. They include two versions of the disk - one with original singer Ted Poley and one with new singer Paul Laine. Both are great. Hits and misses: Hits: Still Kickin, When She's Good She's Good, Shot O' Love, Afraid Of Love, Goin Goin Gone, Don't Break My Heart Again Misses: The rest. |
