No, this isn't for fans of 80's "hair metal" at all

"I wasn't familiar with the band Blessed By a Broken Heart prior to this album, but I took a chance on Pedal to the Metal based on the album artwork and the band photo on the back cover. I was hoping for something along the lines of Dirty Penny or Endeverafter - energetic 80's style hard rock. Instead, Blessed By a Broken Heart is essentially a metalcore band that's apparently trying to merge that sound with 80's hair metal. Only it's not really similar to 80's hair metal at all, but rather what a bunch of kids with a God fixation who grew up too late for that era and think this is what 80's hair metal sounded like. It's almost a bad parody, especially with that cheap techno keyboard sound.



I don't think it's impossible to mix metalcore and hair metal, but Blessed By a Broken Heart misses the mark completely. As a metalcore album, I suppose the novelty factor of Pedal to the Metal is pretty decent. I have a hard time seeing how this album is supposed to appeal to 80's rock fans though. Maybe this is the band's honest tribute to that era, but it sure doesn't feel like it. It feels like parody, and if I wanted that I'd listen to Steel Panther. At least they're up front about it."
