Amazon.co.uk Review
You don't need to know that The Glitterati's debut album was recorded by Guns N'Roses producer Mike Clink to know this young Leeds quintet are aiming high--it's all spelt out in frontman Nic Denson's lyrics to "Back in Power", in huge neon letters: "I want a filmstar/ I'm on the guestlist/I want a sex life/I want a death wish!" he yelps, visions of guitar-shaped swimming pools crystallising in his mind's eye.
You don't need to know that The Glitterati's debut album was recorded by Guns N'Roses producer Mike Clink to know this young Leeds quintet are aiming high--it's all spelt out in frontman Nic Denson's lyrics to "Back in Power", in huge neon letters: "I want a filmstar/ I'm on the guestlist/I want a sex life/I want a death wish!" he yelps, visions of guitar-shaped swimming pools crystallising in his mind's eye.
But while The Glitterati isn't quite as monolithically big-sounding as, say, Appetite For Destruction – naturally, in Axl's hands, token slowies "Don't Do Romance" and "Keep Me Up All Night" would be accompanied by a full orchestra – numbers like "First Floor" strain with a glossy, solo-strewn libido reminiscent of early Aerosmith in their sleazy enthusiasm for hard rock's more ludicrous trappings. If you're looking for Darkness-style tongue-in-cheek, you've come to the wrong place: Denson's yelp of "See you later/ Heartbreaker!" appears to be played entirely without irony. But that's not to say The Glitterati isn't enjoyable--it's just that they're serious about having fun, and if that involves Flying V guitars and a spot of back-combing, all the better --Louis Pattison
CD Description
This is the debut album from Leeds five-piece The Glitterati. Recorded in LA with Guns 'n' Roses producer Mike Clink, the album sees the band deliver the brand of rock 'n' roll that has seen them earn comparisons to Aerosmith, Guns 'n' Roses, and many other stadium rockers. The singles 'You Got Nothing On Me' and 'Back In Power' are also included.
