Hell, CA – Jizzy Pearl’s Love/Hate
RATING: 7.5/10 A great band with terrible timing, LOVE/HATE released two of the finest albums of the whole glam/hair metal movement, just as the world was moving on and embracing the dour slurry of grunge instead. Both “Blackout in the Red Room” and “Wasted in America” stand up just fine today, too: snotty, balls-out rock records, full of great songs and palpable attitude. Four further albums followed, but regardless of their quality, heavy music was plainly looking elsewhere. Thirty years on, and after several false starts and unexpected detours, JIZZY PEARL has finally assembled a line-up worthy of the band’s name and made an album that very nearly matches the priapic energy of those aforementioned classics. “Hell, CA” is a big, brash and bellige...
