Spark in the dark...

Genre: heavy metal / hard rock / glam metal

"Trash" was a major hit back in the day when it came out, and I can really see why. It's jampacked full of solid hard rock and heavy metal tunes with only a couple of weak points.

The opening track was probably also the biggest hit of that album, starting with an anthemic guitar melody of the sort that just tattoos itself onto one's brain. It's not a coincidence it became so popular. It's just damn catchy! Most of the other tracks on the album are equally catchy, but mostly because of their choruses - and tracks like "Spark in the Dark", "House of Fire", and "Bed of Nails" just beg you to sing along. The weakest tracks on this album are the ballad "Only My Heart Talkin'" and, ironically, the title track "Trash".

I'd recommend this album to most fans of hard rock and glam metal (and, yes, I like how it's glam metal without being glamorous or sleazy).

It should also be of interest to various rock fans as it features the likes of Joey Sambora, Jon Bon Jovi, Desmond Child, Steve Lukather, Joe Perry, Steven Tyler and Kip Winger. However, unlike "Hey Stoopid", this album is not carried by the guest performers, but by the music itself.
