Widowmaker--Blood and Bullets (1992)
Rating--7.8

The first major post-Twisted Sister effort from Dee Snider. Heavy songs, but a bit more on the commercial side than what the band would soon progress to. An excellently mixed album, with solid drum and bass work behind Al Pitrelli's Lynch/DeMartini style riffing. Don't expect the make-up or rock anthems from Dee this time--it's all serious, pissed off rock. The tightness of the group would only shine even brighter on the next (and last) disc.
Highlights include "Gone Bad", "Calling For You", "The Lonely Ones", and the evil "Reason To Kill". Fans of Dokken, Ratt, and Lynch Mob should check this out.
HOT CHOPS: On "Reason To Kill" the bass thumping while the guitar churns out evil riffs and runs (think Lynch Mob) is slow head-bobbing heaven...
