Good solid rock album

(3 out of 5 stars)

"1989's Kings of Noise was the second (and final) album from the Slammin' Watusis, a rocking, if poorly named, band active towards the end of the 1980's. Despite the band's punk rock origins, Kings of Noise is a pretty straightforward rock & roll album, similar to what bands like Royal Court of China and the Neighborhoods were releasing at the time. It's a bit grittier than most pop/rock albums, but doesn't really venture into L.A. Guns territory.



Kings of Noise is a good, solid rock & roll album, but there isn't a lot that sets it apart from the rest of the pack. It's the kind of album that you should definitely grab if you see it for a couple of bucks, and one that you'll enjoy while you're listening to it, but it won't stick around in your head after you're done playing it.
