From an odd opening the pulsating blast of вЂњMalibu Beach NightmareвЂќ alerts the senses. The album kicks off with the bizarre folk/prog instrumental вЂњStrange Boys Play Weird OpeningsвЂќ a tongue in cheek attempt to wrong foot the listener, complete with an elegantly airy flute melody and background song bird calls. On the whole it works well, particularly on side one where the punk urgency feels more convincing, the snappy riffs jousting with Michael MonroeвЂ™s howling vocal. Mott The HoopleвЂ™s Dale Buffin Griffin and Pete Watts were brought in to help reproduce their noted electrifying live performances and gratuitous braggadocio. вЂњBack To Mystery CityвЂќ, their fourth long player, is as theatrically explosive as previous performances, with the raw lineage from their time in punk bands in the late 70s combined with the glam sounds of New York Dolls, T. A combination of communal alcoholic excess, the tragic death of drummer Razzle, and an unsettled line up meant that the band never truly reached their undoubted potential. So indebted to the Finnish rockers, Axl Rose would admit that they should have been bigger than Guns nвЂ™ Roses. Hanoi Rocks never feared exposing their influences, and the myriad styles would inspire the music that would in turn pave the way for glam/hair metal bands of the 80s such as Motley Crue, Poison and Twisted Sister.
