The Bulletboys CD, titled "Bulletboys" is a disappointment, if you ask me.
There's some OK tracks like "Smooth up in you" and "Shoot the preacher
down", but over all, the production could of been alot better. Ted Templeman, who also produced the early Van Halen albums is not, in my opinion a good producer. The later Van halen albums with Sammy Hagar which
had different producers,to me sounded better and had alot more to offer
the listener. I gave the Bulletboys CD two stars. Thank You.

 Some cool songs that rock

| If you dont have this cd, buy it, simply because it rocks with so much enthusiasm that the chessiness is over-shadowed. Yes, sometimes, the yips and yipes are over done, but the songs are VERY strong (at least 8 of 10 are worth a listen) and the playing is so good that you get caught up having a good time and forget how much the singer apes David Lee Roth at times. For sure, this was one of the best releases of their time and their 2nd effort, the criminally ignored "Freakshow" is even better. If you like hard rock, you need this. |

| Who on Earth would call the Bulletboys, Van Halen wannabees? That is such foolishness! They don't sound anything like Van Halen! Bulletboys had their own sound and it was great! As far as this album goes, it's one of those you put in and turn it up as loud as your speakers will tolerate! And for the songwriting, what do some of these people want? It's not suppose to be intellectually sound by any means. It was straight forward, metal in your face, partying Rock 'n' Roll! So, take it as that and enjoy! And as for Van Halen, they are my favorite band of all time, so I'm definately not knocking those guys by any means. |

 Decent hair metal, but definitely not essential

Wow, there sure is a lot of love for the Bulletboys here. I guess that goes to show how dedicated some "hair metal" fans really are. Unfortunately I can't quite join the party. Don't get me wrong, I'm not some hair metal hating elitist. I grew up with this kind of music and love it to this day, but the Bulletboys' 1989 self-titled debut is just not one of the scene's better offerings.
Bulletboys is essentially a big dumb party rock album. I'm not saying that's a bad thing (it sure seems to work for AC/DC), but when you compare the album to what Dokken, Tesla, Cinderella, hell, even Warrant and Poison were releasing at the time, it just seems very juvenile and more than a little silly. And the lyrics...well, "Smooth Up in Ya" and "Kissin' Kitty" make "Cherry Pie" seem downright subtle.
That said; Bulletboys is still a pretty rockin' album, and songs like "Hard as a Rock" and "Crank Me Up" are better than average rockers. Marq Torien has a heck of a voice (I loved his King Kobra stuff on The Lost Years), and he had the whole 80's rock frontman thing down. I also appreciate the total lack of power ballads on the album. I just wish the band's songwriting skills matched their musical skills.
Overall, this is a decent hair metal album with some very noticeable flaws. It's still fun to listen to, but definitely is not worthy of a 5-star rating. |
