You don't have to say it...I'll say it for you.
Wes, if you rated 'Enough Rope' as 100%, I wonder how high 'No Respect' is if you say it isn't equal or better? is it 150% ?
I actually said "I normally don't give scores but if I had to this one would be somewhere close to 10/10 or 100% but maybe just barely under that." But since you asked yes 'No Respect' is more like 150% or maybe even higher.
Seriously though the new one is great but it's not No Respect. I've had 22 years with that album and it's a desert island disc for me and has been pretty much since 1989. I can't explain it just is just one of the great hard rock/sleaze rock/metal albums of all time for me.
As usual, I'm going to be a loner on this, but I couldn't wait to get rid of 'No Respect' when I finally bought it. I thought the first track was awful, but 'Beat the Bullet' is cool, so I was expecting more treasures to follow, but hated pretty much every track. Personally, I like really dirty, sleazy glam like Tigertailz, Faster Pussycat etc and despise the punky stuff. Everything I've heard by Vain is very punky.
You'd think I liked being Billy No Mates, wouldn't you?
You're not the only one who considers Vain overrated...I think No Respect has a few decent songs on it but it rarely gets played by me, as for "Move on it" & "Fade", awful is the best description...I have stayed away from the other 2 releases Vain put out but I will admit to liking the samples for "Enough Rope" and I plan to give it a chance...
