Thunderdome
Pink Cream 69
(SPV)

Purveyors of Scandi-rock for almost 15 years, this lot have it on all cylinders with their latest release. I find it hard to believe that many other bands will be able to top this wonder twelve track affair. Even their cover of My Sharona, which is nothing special, does not detract from a bloody good album. This is as good as the recent album from Harem Scarem and has laid down a marker to the new releases from Velvet Revolver and Brides of Destruction, who will peddle a similar type of hard rock. Thunderdome is what the rather good, but not perfect, new Skin Trade could have been. From the thundering title track through to the equally good 'See Your Face', PC69 have delivered the goods. They even have a rather nice ballad in the form of 'That was Yesterday'. Do yourself a bloody favour and get yer mitts on this disc. It is has set a pretty damn high marker for my album of the year.
