With a pedigree that includes writing for Lou Gramm, Peter Criss and Lee Aaron, you would be forgiven for expecting a lot from the latest album from Sarasin A.D. who feature Phil Naro on vocals.
The question however is does 'Daggers, Lust and Disgust' match up to the expectations that that brings with it?
Sadly the answer is pretty much a no. The album while having no really major flaws to it, comes across as a somewhat bland, uninspired dose of hard rock, the kind you can hear all across the world, played by musicians of far less calibre than those present here. The songs themselves, despite those highly touted writing credits do nothing to really inspire anything more than disinterest.
It's a shame. Even when the band try and kick things up a gear on tracks like 'Makes Sense' they sound like a cheap carbon copy of a host of 80's LA based hard rock outfits, and in places the sound quality sounds just as bad as some of the early LA Guns albums, and they weren't even remastered when they were put on CD!
I wanted to like this album, I wanted it to rock my world... it just doesn't unfortunately.
