By the name of the band you can maybe guess what's on offer here but don't worry it's not Poison, it's heavy f**kin metal alright, just with sleazy themes. Just a no nonsense, bread and butter 80's metal release. Nothing fancy but get's the job done when you wana bung something on your speakers which rocks out with it's c*ck out, literally, and makes you pine for the good old days when Jonathan Davis was getting picked on by jocks and metal knew where it's testicles were as well as it's musical common sense. This EP from Lust has a nice bit of variety to help it flow well and keep you glued. There's a couple of balladic, slower tempo songs and the rest being faster, more up tempo rocking songs. The sound is fairly close to say early Dokken, W.A.S.P and Motley Crue although having to utilise a more rough production.
The best track is definitely the heavy but balladic "Nites Are Lonely" which works brilliantly. The rest of the songs are all entertaining enough and have nice flashes of fun and catchiness. The "hey baby! do you take traveller's cheques?" line in "Hooker" made me spit my coffee out laughing. Fun little EP, nothing brilliant but worth a listen if you like the heavy 80's glam bands or metal bands who had sleazy themes.
