2 out of 5 stars ZZZZZZZZZZZ.......2005-03-12

I've tried a few times but I just can't make it thru this CD. While I'm listening to it I find myself saying out loud "This is BORING". The story is dull, the music is dull. I got really tired of hearing "where is the love to shelter me?" The drummer sounds like he's beating on garbage cans half the time. I didn't care for his singing either, it was too whiny. I didn't think there was even 1 song I'd ever care to hear again. I can't see me ever putting this CD on again. However, a couple of other people really liked it as you can see from their reviews. I think the only people this might appeal to are really young people who haven't experienced much and think this junk is meaningful. There are HUNDREDS of MUCH better CDs than this dog.

5 out of 5 stars essential WASP.......2003-12-09

This is the greatest album by WASP... anyone really familiar with their history knows this. Personal, deep, beautiful, heartwrenching, melodic, catchy, rocking, heavy... TIMELESS. What else can I say? Chances are, when you listen to this album, you just might see a bit of your own personality in it -- I know I did. And, hey, isn't that what makes music great in the first place?

5 out of 5 stars THE BEST WASP ALBUM.......1999-12-16

This one goes in my TOP 5 top-to-bottom all-time favorite albums along with: Judas Priest-Screaming For Vengeance, Iron Maiden-Somewhere In Time, Pretty Maids-Future World, Def Leppard-High'n'Dry. I own well over 1000 cds, so these 5 must be special.

5 out of 5 stars A masterpiece of rock!.......1999-09-26

The Crimson Idol is special in more than just the obvious sence as the songs have been written so that the listener is able to relate to them in some way, Blackie has written them from different perspectives so that everyone's experiance of 'The Crimson Idol' is unique. That truely takes a certain amount of genius!

5 out of 5 stars What a masterpiece!!!.......1999-09-16

This album shows the true musical genius that is Blackie Lawless. If you are into Hard Rock/Metal music, YOU MUST OWN THIS CD!!!....This thing is wild and beautiful at the same time...It sends shivers down my spine every time I listen to it. ***** isn't enough to rate it....GET IT!!!
