2 out of 5 stars Catching the comets tail, so to speak.......2006-07-11

During the final spasms of the hair metal daze there were a range of bands that tried to milk a last big bang from the hard rock buying public. Groupls like Sweet FA and Southgang aimed high and achieved low. But Warrant were the band that succeeded, the last party before flannel replaced flair and the HR/HM genre gave up the fight against rap/dance to become the dominant musical genre outside of pop music for those under 30.

But to be perfectly blunt it is hard to see why Warrant was successful. The S/T debut waxes lyrical about the wild times and wild women yet is decaf pop metal. Big Talk rides a cool groove, Heaven is a quality lighters in the air number and that's about it. A coupla catchy bits, cool title and a clutch of embarrassing band pics sum this up. The story is that these guys ripped live and toured (and partied) hard - so perhaps it's the live experience that propelled the commercial success. Or perhaps Jani Lane really was that good looking.

This record is the recorded equivalent of a balloon, cool for a few moments if your a kid but ultimately made of air. Plenty of people had a good time to it though.

5 out of 5 stars Worth checking out .......2006-06-04

I actually have this on audio cassette (anyone remember them?) and just listened to it for the first time in a few years and while I will concede some of their songs sound dated, Warrant is still enjoyable to listen to.

For all the teased to the sky bleached blonde hair, spandex that looked painted on those rail-thin bodies, and the like, I'll take Warrant anyday over the continuous stream of slop that has been passed off as music since the mid-80's. The reason why is because Warrant, and so-called "hair bands" like them (WHO came up with that lame term??), they actually wrote their own songs. They weren't record company creations like the current crop of slop that's pushed down the public's throats every minute of every day on your local Clear Channel owned station.

The 80's were a depressing time for this country where everything was in a state of decay (I haven't fallen for all the romanticizing that's been going on of late of that horrible decade. I saw things quite differently) but one thing that I still like to this day are heavy metal bands that wrote (and sometimes produced) their own music. A lot of heavy metal from the late-80's sounds dated but it's still enjoyable and I like listening to it from time and time (and remembering my crush on lead singer Jani Lane always makes me smile. He still looks good).

Warrant created great ballads with "Sometimes She Cries" and "Heaven" that are one my favorite cuts on this album. D.R.F.S.R. is definitely worth checking out. - Donna Di Giacomo

4 out of 5 stars Classic eighties pop-metal at its best.......2005-05-16

Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich (1989.) Warrant's first album.

As everyone knows, the classic eighties metal scene was almost instantaneously destroyed with the outbreak of grunge in the early nineties. This caused many a classic metal band to collapse, or in some cases change their images. The biggest victims of this musical transition were, by far, the eighties-style metal bands that got the latest starts in the decade. Among these bands were Winger, Slaughter, Extreme, Trixter, and of course, Warrant. Warrant was an excellent pop-metal group, and unfortunately, their late start is what ultimately cost them their chance at being immortalized like many of the bands of the day were. Warrant didn't release their first album, Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich, until just two years before grunge ultimately killed most classic metal. How does the group's debut measure up? Read on for my review.

There are a lot of reasons people diss Warrant - their music is cheesy, they're unoriginal, the list goes on. It pisses me off to hear this stuff, because for one, heavy metal has never been about lyrics, but rather melodies. And as for being unoriginal? This isn't necessarily a bad thing. If the band had been a blatant rip-off of everything from this era of music, then YES, it wold be bad. But what Warrant does is takes all the best elements from the era and combines them. Because of this, they create a pop-metal sound that is widely-appealing to fans of music from this era, but at the same time, is nowhere near as chessy/glam as Poison was. What results is an excellent, very underrated band. There are plenty of fast-paced rockers here that are sure to please, as well as the obligatory power ballads you've got on practically every eighties pop metal album. Warrant's rockers and ballads are among the finest of this period, when American metal was in its identity crisis, just prior to grunge taking over. If you're a fan of eighties pop rock/metal you'll love this album. Just don't expect anything revolutionary here.

Warrant's albums got remastered and reissued. The remasters feature expanded liner notes, as well as some rare bonus tracks. It's great to see a company do remasters the right way - many labels (I'm looking at YOU, Mercury) just remaster the album and don't do anything else. If you want to see how remasters should be done, The Metal Masters Series shows you the way.

In the end, this is classic pop-metal the way it was meant to be enjoyed. If you want a pop-metal revolution, you won't get it here, but if you just want a good, solid pop metal album from one of the most underrated bands of the era, you're certainly gonna get it from Warrant's debut. Four out of five stars. Recommended, if you're into this sort of thing.

1 out of 5 stars the worst band ever.......2005-05-12

5 out of 5 stars It's finally been re-issued!.......2005-03-18

Ah, 1989. What a year. A good year, but the closing of an era. What was the best thing that happened in 1989? I'll tell you what it was: It was the release of Warrant's debut album, "Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich". If this album came out today, Warrant and the album itself would probably get made fun of pretty badly. But who cares what other people think? If you are a loyal Warrant fan, even if you already have the original version of this album, you HAVE to buy the re-issued version. Hits and popular songs like "Heaven", "Down Boys", "Sometimes She Cries", among others, can be heard again with digitally remastered sound, there are new liner notes, and two previously unreleased demos have been included here: "Only A Man" and "All Night Long". Jani Lane may be gone and out of Warrant, but Warrant remains one of the best hair bands that are still around, and they are on the list of my top ten favorite bands. I even have an autograhped picture of the band that is personalized and in my name. I am also looking forward for the release of Warrant's new album (the band themselves said that it should be out this summer)and it is supposedly supposed to be both this and "Cherry Pie"- with a new twist! That is good to know, considering the fact that Warrant had become a grunge band by the release of their third album, 1992's "Dog Eat Dog". Overall, this album serves as a good memory for all Warrant fans, and if you happen to be one of those people, then do yourself a favor and pick up the re-issued version of this album. Highly Recommended!
