Trouble’s absolute classic: the legendary album from 1990 and the pinnacle of Trouble’s impressive career.
Heavy Metal was never better than this!
Includes a live bonus LP recorded in Dallas, Texas (USA)!
Trouble’s 1990 self-titled release is arguably their most mature, boasting a fleshed out sound with unparalleled songwriting, a great production, and the time-crafted vocals of Eric Wagner which had improved major in the years since their previous efforts.
All of this culminates in what is my mind the most “complete” thing Trouble ever created.
From the mid-paced chug of a killer opener in “At the End of My Daze” to the last notes of “All Is Forgiven”, we can’t see filler or anything resembling a weak link.
The riffs here are some of the best ever written, by Trouble or anyone else; every song has a manically awesome main riff that demands a display of headbanging.
Trouble basically reinvented themselves with this release, and while I think it was a fantastic rebirth.
But the Metal remained fully intact!
