Livid are a rock band from middle England, with
their debut album 'One', which has been 10 years
in the making and being mostly on the road time
for the past 2 years, the band has some endorsement
from Justin Hawkins, stating they could be the next
perry and tyler.
Freakshow, starts the album off, with a quick
guitar solo/intro, before getting into the song
proper, and almost immediately you can here there
influences from the 80s and it sounds some what
dated, but not in a cool retro way, The singer
sounds like an 80s version of Vince Neil, the
vocals are good but on some songs the squeals
get tiresome. the guitar riffs however are good
and competent, but they seem to miss that memorable
cutting edge, that gets you playing some air guitar.
'Lost lady saloon' has a chugging rhythm, thats
ok , but you'll either like it or you wont. Devils
Bones is more led Zeppelin like, with a riff which
sounds heavily influenced by the guitar intro
to led zeps, 'Moby Dick'. Album highlight sadly
comes right at the end, album closer 'cant find
home', Pay Ward, the vocalist seems to have gone
for a freddie mercury sound that works, this epic
ballad, has some great solos in it from Steve
Paris, the song is very guns and roses, which
is not a bad thing, echoing some of G'n'Rs better
work. its a good album closer, and its a shame
that the other songs on the album wernt as good
as the closer
This album is for fans, of 80s hair metal, that
may want to revist the past with something new.
'One' is out now on the Lost Lady Records label.
3/5
