VERBAL ABUSE — “Rocks Your Liver” LP
This album left me satisfied and disappointed at the same time. Satisfied, when they crank out such gems as “Set Me Free”, “Best Friends”, and the title track. But disappointed, when they deliver far below what they’re capable of. I mean, they’re talented musicians, and Scotty Wilkins’ vocals are great, but a few tracks are just lackluster. I still like this band, but I hope their next LP will allow them to reach their potential. [TONY]
