Genre: Hair Metal

Tools of Creation sound remarkably like a young Motley Crue. A little Skid Row and Faster Pussycat can also be detected. Those highly melodic, fist-pumping anthems, that heartfelt ballad, that LA style of rock just a couple of shades wussier than Guns N’ Roses…

How do you review something like this? I mean, they play this kind of 80s arena rock exceptionally well. If “Adventures in Chaos” had been released back then (preferably with a better title), it would have won over many a Poison fan. You might have sewed their patch onto your denim jacket. Your older sister might have even slept with them.

Sadly, hair metal hasn’t aged well. I’m impressed that there’s a band (from Ottawa, by the way) that is keeping the flame alive, but otherwise, this is about as relevant as disco.

Bottom Line: Possibly the best hair metal album since the days you admitted to liking it.
