Description:
Twisted Sister's fifth and final studio album, "Love is for Suckers," was released on August 13, 1987, by Atlantic Records. The vinyl album features nine tracks that showcase the band's transition to a more commercial and polished sound, which received mixed reviews from fans and critics at the time. The album was produced by Beau Hill, who had previously worked with acts such as Ratt and Warrant. The production is slick and radio-friendly, with a focus on catchy hooks, harmonies, and ballads that were aimed at a wider audience. Lead singer Dee Snider has stated that the album was originally intended to be his solo debut, but the record company pushed for it to be released under the Twisted Sister name. The vinyl album opens with the track "Wake Up (The Sleeping Giant)," a hard-hitting rocker that showcases the band's signature heavy metal sound. Other standout tracks include "Hot Love," a catchy pop-metal tune that features a saxophone solo, and "Me and the Boys," a fun and upbeat track that pays homage to the band's roots in the New York club scene. Despite its commercial aspirations, "Love is for Suckers" failed to achieve the same success as the band's previous albums, and Twisted Sister disbanded shortly after its release. However, the album has gained a cult following over the years and has been reissued multiple times with bonus tracks and remastered versions. |
