781.0. "The Lost" by METALX::SWANSON (Where angels fear to tread) Mon Aug 26 1991 10:48

    Just picked up the CD from this group titled "The Lost".  I only
    listened to it once so far, but one listening was enough to know that
    it CRANKS!  
    
    They have a heavy rhythm to them similar to old Aerosmith, but maybe a
    little heavier & faster on some of the songs I'd say.  They have a
    video for the song Mindblower on MTV which I've only seen once.  But it
    was for that song alone that I picked up the CD.  I was not
    disappointed by the rest of it!  Theres a beefed up cover of that song
    that goes "stop hey what's that sound, everybody look what's goin'
    round"
    
    There's also a really nice surprise which made me feel like I really
    got my moneys worth.  I almost hate to give it away, so...

    The album supposedly has 12 tracks, but there's actually a 13th track
    which is not mentioned anywhere on the CD or liner.  The unexpected
    13th track is a cover of Hendrix's "Are You Experienced"!  Played
    cleanly (no distortion).  Definately a nice surprise!

    Well after another listen, maybe "cranks" isn't the right word, and it
    sounds more like Joe Perry Project than Aerosmith.  But a good album
    nonetheless.
