3.0 goodRobbit | May 25th 16

SCREAMS IN THE NIGHT is probably the most cohesive Hellion album and my favorite of the bunch. The songs here are a bit catchier than anything else they'd written, but still a bit too aggressive to be considered pop-metal. There is a great deal of energy in Anne Boleyn's vocals and Chet Thompson's flashy guitar theatrics. While impressive at first, the showboating becomes a bit tiresome after several songs as the musicians seem to be trying much too hard to sell these mostly average quality metal songs. "Screams In The Night" and "The Hand" are good tracks, but others like "Bad Attitude" are just too overwrought. (Check out the ending with Anne screaming while the double-bass drums pounding away for one example.) Not enough restraint or taste here to put this album on the top shelf.

Ann Boleyn is a terrible singer, but the guitar work is very interesting. Chet Thompson is one of the most underrated guitarists of his generation.
