スウェーデン出身の4人組がセカンド作で日本デビュー。メロディアスな旋律を怒涛のスピードと爆音で仕上げたサウンドは近年稀に見る熱さを誇る。さしずめ欧州産オルタナ・ロックといったところか。日本盤のみのボーナス17にはマイケル・モンローがゲスト参加。

This debut collection from the swashbuckling Scandinavian glam gypsies scorches along ferociously with a high-powered blend of the
New York Dolls' sleaze rock blueprint,
The Ramones' bludgeoning primal minimalism and the post-punk, commercial flash of
Hanoi Rocks. Ex-
Hellacopters guitarist Dregen matches incendiary riffs with vocalist Nicke Borg and the intense chemistry crackling between bassist Johan Blomquist and drummer Peder Carlsson sends the entire pile-driving concoction spiralling into the stratosphere. From the slamming, full-tilt frenzy of "Made Me Madman" to the towering crescendos of "Highlights",
Total 13 never lets up. In fact, it is fair to say that rock has rarely been rolled with such vehement stamina, and the Backyard Babies' forthright redefinition of raw power immediately established them as one of glam metal's leading lights. If your taste is for thrash laced with swagger and panache, then you'll love
Total 13. --
