Ugly Kid Joe--America's Least Wanted

Ugly Kid Joe--America's Least Wanted (1992) Rating--8.5

Goddamn Devil--RealAudio  Come Tomorrow--RealAudio

While the sound is a bit heavier at times, overall it appears that the band let their debut's success get to them a bit. Growth is shown, but not quite on the scale you would have expected following the tracks from their first release. Still, a solid album--just a bit too much polish, perhaps. The raw edge that made the debut so special has been filed down a bit...
Highlights include "Neighbor", "Goddamn Devil", "Come Tomorrow", "Panhandlin' Prince", "Don't Go", "So Damn Cool", and "I'll Keep Tryin".
HOT CHOPS: Rob Halford of Judas Priest fame drops by to lend a helping hand to "Goddamn Devil", and he makes the song. Some great, great wailing in that one. Also, check out the great riff and groove in "Come Tomorrow" right around the 1:55 mark...
