The interesting thing two tracks in is that we are sounding much more Metallic on this release – sonically it has echos of early Panther and that is rather magnificent. Want more social commentary? The gentle ballad ‘On Your Instagram’ is the one for you. You’re still with us? That’s great you’re one of us! There’s a nice sleazy Metal meets Van Halen thrust to ‘Never too Late’ the distinctly in your face opener to the latest Steel Panther and that’s just how we like it. In these days of rapidly deteriorating rights of free speech just play ‘Friends With Benefits’ to anyone you’re not sure of – its lyrically the surefire way of finding out if they’ve drunk too much cool aid and are about to cancel you. Steel Panther is on the prowl again with their 6th album of questionable pleasures and delight and believe me this is a hot and sticky one! If you thought that things might change with the departure of Lexxi Fox then think again as he’s still very much in everyone’s thoughts and even name-checked on the opening track.
