The Unattractive Revolution (CD) Reviews Return to The Unattractive Revolution (CD)

So.. the year was 2007, for about one year and a half ago Crashdïet had lost its leadsinger n' guitarist, their main songwriter n' founder - Dave Lepard. Now they were back on trakk with a new singer, a new sound and a new album, to prove to the world they still knew how to play rock n' roll. The new vocalist was the H. Olliver Twisted, a hard(ly) rockin' guy from Finland who played in another band at the same time (Reckless Love). Now, in 2010, we all know that Olli now only sings in Reckless Love because he were not giving 100% in Crashdïet and he oftenly seemed to be unjustified. You can hear that on The Unattractive Revolution, and unlike Dave and Simon (who replaced Olli) he didn't write his own lyrics (or am I wrong there?), which makes it sound like he sings some of the songs without any feelings. But the album has a couple of highlights; "In the Raw", "Falling Rain" and "XTC Overdrive", who had the same class as the songs on Rest In Sleaze and Generation Wild. However, the weaker songs on The Unattractive Revolution are a bit boring. Some of the songs; "I Don't Care" and "Alone" features Mötley Crüe guitarist Mick Mars, and to be honest.. he made som cool guitar solos, but that doesn't make the songs much better. What I really like with this album is the drums, espacially in "In the Raw" the drums sound really fat. But most of the songs on "T.U.R" misses the charm and hunger Crashdïet had 2005 on Rest In Sleaze. To summarize The Unattractive Revolution; In the Raw, Falling Rain and XTC Overdrive are awesome songs, but the rest of the album is somewhere between okay and good.
