| Baby Animals - Shaved and Dangerous Band: Baby Animals Tracks: - Don't Tell Me What To Do - Buputa - Life From A Distance - Be My Friend - Lovin' Lies - Lights Out At Eleven (29.2.92) - Backbone - Nervous At Night - Because I Can - Stoopid - At The End Of The Day Nothing short of brilliant!!! In short if you want a CD that you can listen to from start to finish without grabbing the remote then this is the album for you. With a great blend of beutiful ballads and good aussie rock it is Truly nothing short of brilliant. It's just a real shame that The Band was forced to break up due to a pigheaded record company. Otherwise we would have had many a great album from the Baby Animals. ONE OF THE BEST BANDS YOU'VE NEVER HEARD Following on the heels of their brilliant self-titled debut CD in 1991, Australia's Baby Animals, with producing help from Ed Stasium (Living Colour, The Pursuit of Happiness), deliver a quite satisfying follow-up with "Shaved and Dangerous". The Baby Animals were perhaps the biggest Band in Australia for a few years (they even had tribute bands - not bad for an act that only put out two records). This record isn't as consistently rock-n-roll as their first CD, but very close. "Buputa", the second track on the U.S. pressings, is great "drivin' with the top down" music. "Backbone" and "Nervous at Night" are also standouts. All the songs are originals, save "Be My Friend" a Paul Rodgers-penned song from his days in Free. Former Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, a fan of The Band from their first record (more than just a fan, actually - he married Suze DeMarchi, the band's singer) offers a bit of co-writing and producing help as well. This is a great record, and after seeing The Band Live twice I am convinced they could have achieved global fame and fortune had not their record label folded and entangled them in years of legal hassle. Still don't believe me? The Band was hand-picked by Van Halen to open for them on a leg of their 1991 For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge Tour. So there. DeMarchi went on to release a brilliant, though very un-Baby Animals-like, solo CD called "Telelove" (see review) in 1999. Australia has produced countless great rock and roll bands over the years, and Baby Animals sat at the top of that heap for some time. Buy this CD while it is still available in the U.S.! It was released on Imago Records, Aimee Mann's old label. So at least the Baby Animals are in good company. No hooks, no beat, no Lyrics What a disappointment I loved there first album. They defiantly Fall into the second album let down category. Gone was the hard edge they had to their songs in the first album. Skip this one.
