Poseur Glam rock
Ballroom Blitzer's classic album
Desolation Boulevard is the only Sweet album worth getting, but still it's not any good. Some of the hits like
Fox On The Run and
Ballroom are fun party tunes, but I can't take this music seriously, it feels like a bubblegum pop joke, which I heard they started out as. The only song with a hint of originality is
AC DC, it reminds me of the heavier side of Mott the Hoople and Slade. I wonder if it inspired a certain group's band name?? Other than that, I don't care much for Sweet, it just sounds like a cash grab, but if there's one to get, this album is the boulevard to rock on -- no wonder it's so desolate ... maybe just watch Wayne's World instead!
