<p><strong>Lee Aaron</strong> - The out of the box riff on the first track sounded great. But the song never seemed to go anywhere. Aaron has an okay voice, but it's not really special. She can certainly carry a tune. I didn't care for track number two. It seemed like a generic attempt at blues. But I did dig the guitar solo and the riffing that came in at the end of it. Again, Miss Mercy feels generic. Except for the guitar solo. Somebody's playin' pretty good. I really just didn't…</p>

Again, Miss Mercy feels generic. Except for the guitar solo. Somebody's playin' pretty good. I really just didn't like the final song. Wait, I read that wrong, the last song is a cover of a song made famous by Linda Ronstadt. I can't say it's an improvement and I prefer Linda's version.</p>
<p>Let's review...probably slightly better than average vocalist, songs that really don't interest me much, and a terrific guitar player. That adds up to...<strong>Thumbs Down</strong>.</p>
<p></p>
<p>SkewSiskin (or Nina C. Alice) - This first song is way better than anything from the previous album. This is quite raw and I like it. This may seem like a strange statement to make, but I'd love to hear the debut album by Motley Crue performed by Skew Siskin. Even the lead guitar on the first track sounds like something Mick Mars would lay down. The rockin' does not slow down at all on In Another World. I might still like Motley Crue if she were the lead singer. I'm also getting a rough The Pretty Reckless vibe. Not polished. But I'm also noticing the date 1992. Not sure what that means. Is this a compilation?</p>
<p>Okay, I just re-read the intro. I guess we have one new released partnered with two that aren't. I've got it now.</p>
<p>Review...first two songs sound like vintage, messy Motley Crue. Last two sound like unpolished The Pretty Reckless. The singer has pipes and musically it is rockin'. There's even a touch of Plant and Zeppelin on that final track. What's not to like. If this was a new release with all of these tracks on the same disc I'd go looking for it. In other words...<strong>Thumbs Up.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Cheetah -</strong> I guess I should have mentioned to start with that I'm not familiar with any of these ladies. Nothing at all remarkable about the first track. Bang Bang has a kind of cheesy chorus, which isn't surprising seeing the song title. But I totally dig the verses. The last two songs begin very AC/DC"ish". At least from a drumming perspective. But I'm pretty ambivalent toward both of 'em.</p>
<p>Review...Vocalist(s) are better than average. Songs are okay though not earth shattering. I like it better than Lee Aaron but not nearly as much as Skew Sisken...<strong>Thumbs Even</strong>.</p> I had a Lee Aaron album, it w…tag:classic-rock-bottom.ning.com,2018-05-13:6060463:Comment:1557912018-05-13T13:08:06.121ZJonhttp://classic-rock-bottom.ning.com/profile/JonCStephenson
<p>I had a Lee Aaron album, it was Metal Queen because I thought the cover was cool. Probably didn't think the music was that cool since I never bought another LA album again, but that was a long time ago so who really knows. This isn't too bad, especially the geetars, some of the lyrics are a bit trite, but overall it's a fun listen so I'll give it thumbs 3/4 up.</p>
<p>Skew Siskin sounds like White Zombie in parts. It's not bad, but it's not totally original. </p>
