It took Warrant a few albums, but they gave in to their surroundings and put out an excellent album. They dropped the 80's hair band, cheese-ball type music and went ahead and wrote deep lyrics, backed by catchy, and sometimes dark music, unlike anything they've ever done before. There are several songs on this CD that easily could have been radio hits but it was from WARRANT, that hair Band from the 80's. It's unfortunate, but a reality. This album is the best work Warrant has ever done. Belly to Belly is Head to Toe Rock & Roll In Warrant's defense, they have strived to give their Audience what they wanted. In the 80's it was sex, drugs, and of course, RockNRoll. When the younger generation came to and saw what was being offered, they revolted. Hence, "GRUNGE". Now that Warrant was left without a label, without the media horse and cart(MTV), they were left to just Focus on what the real Audience wanted. This is where outstanding music and lyrics come together with their hard charged, explosive, yet emotional masterpieces; Dog Eat Dog, Ultraphobic, and of course Belly to Belly. The latter being one of the best examples by far. Jani has not only written better lyrics, it seems he finally has a Band behind him to Truly evoke those Emotions passed on with those lyrics. No offense to Joey or his fans, he is by far one of the greats on the guitar. And as I too Love the Sweet sounds of the Hair Ballads, it is refreshing to hear one of the most talented voices in rock history stretch those "limits" saddled on him by marketing. Forever will we Love "Cherry Pie", "Down Boys", and even if you won't admit it, "Heaven". Yet as we all grow and mature in our own rights, our Love for our favorite music can grow and bend without breaking. Give this album a try and you will not be disappointed. Alternative Warrant You can either Love this album or hate it. Be warned though, this IS an alternative album, but it is excellent and puts a lot of the so-called alternative bands to shame. It's heavy, it's creative, it's ambitious, it's different, and it's very very underrated. The album rocks hard on "A.Y.M.", "Indian Giver," and "Vertigo," but also still finds room for an amazing ballad "Letter To a Friend." I won't lie to you, it will take some time to get used to this different side of the band, but it's well worth it.
