W.A.S.P. - The Headless Children (1989) + 1

[Darkstone]

Heavy Metal Masterpiece!!

There was a time for me when it was all about W.A.S.P.   

The first 6 albums in particular. This for me is a "no skip, on repeat, full volume album!" It's like they decided no more gimmicks and let the music speak for itself. To me, this album represents W.A.S.P. growing up. I Fucking love it!

It's a shame, but I'm guessing he doesn't play "Mean Man" anymore.

I've also posted one of my favourites, "Harder Faster" from "Live...in the Raw". Does anyone know if they ever did a studio version of this? If not, then you can "Suck Me, Suck Me, Eat Me Raw!"

Awesome album with ‘Mean Man’ being the highlight. My favourite has to be the debut but this is definitely not far behind.

Can't say I'm a big WASP fan but if you're going to listen to one of their releases then this is the one to play as it is their best IMO....

Loved the first CD but didn't like TLC.The 3rd and live were okay but this one brought them back to top form IMO.

I love "The Last Command". I was nearly gonna post that instead of this, but I prefer "The Headless Children" by a whisker.

Last Command seems like leftovers from the self -titled release.

Some of the worst songs-Jack Action,Ballcrusher,Fistful of Diamonds.

HC is definitely my fave WASP record.Circus' is underrated - there is some good stuff on that record too bad Blackie hates that album.

Jack Action is a bit cheesy, but I love the riffage.

"Restless Gypsy" is one of my favourite W.A.S.P. tracks.

I'm probably on the tiny side of WASP fans who likes The Neon God.

Absolutely. "Still Not Black Enough" is great. That was probably the last W.A.S.P. album I really got into. It was sort of the end of an era. After that it got very dark with KFD.

Headless Children is one of my favourite albums of all time. Blackie has released some monster albums over the years - shame the whole gimmick puts lots of people off and as a result they don't give the music a chance.
