445.0. "No Sweat" by NEEPS::IRVINE (If it don't Work... KICK IT!) Mon Feb 11 1991 09:57

    This is a note about the Irish Band N0 Sweat.
    
    The only thing against them is that Joe Elliot recons they're the
    best thing since Def Leppard... (hardly a glowing compliment), but
    saw them live about a week ago, and if you like it sorta AOR, but
    without the Namby Pambyness of JBJ (NPJBJ (tm))... you're on to
    a good thing.
    
    Should get the album soon so will write a review when I do, or if
    someone else has the album perhaps they want to review it.

    I have the album, and to coin a phrase from other fellow stateside
    noters....
    
    it sucks

    Ah well,  maybe they are a band that can't capture on record what
    they can do live?

    Maybe - its just that the band falls into the same cat as ...
    
    No Sweat
    Little Angels
    Stealheart
    Cry Wolf
    (to name a few)
    
    In that they are all decent musicians, but the most important thing -
    the compositions, all sound the same.

    I have the Album and also have seen them play live, I think there are
    some good songs on the album but nothing that really stands out as
    being great, I was impressed by the guitarist at the gig but I've heard
    he is no longer with the band.
