Dangerous Toys - Pissed (Release Year - 1994)

Pissed is the third studio disc by Dangerous Toys, and the first featuring new lead guitarist Paul Lidel.

Dangerous Toys is a band that I always thought would be a good poster child for sleaze rock. I have picked up all of their CD’s over the years and I have never been let down by any one of them. I always know that I will get a disc full of hard driving tunes with great vocals.

On Pissed, Jason McMaster delivers the goods once again, and Paul Lidel sounds like he has been playing in the band forever.

There is a lot to like on this disc, and it does not disappoint. The title track Pissed, is a great up tempo number that need to be cranked up to be appreciated.

Pissed

Paintrain and The Law Is Mine continues the fun with two great in your face rockers back to back.

Promise The Moon is an excellent ballad and something that you wouldn’t expect to hear from the DT guys.

Strange is a heavy track full of sleaze and head banging goodness. Great Stuff! Loser has an AC/DC type of sound, and a great party rock feel to it.

Hard Luck Champion is one of my favorite tracks on this disc, and should be my theme song.

Screamin’ for More is an upbeat song that has a less heavier feel that the rest of the tracks on Pissed. There are more acoustic guitars on this song but it has a great sound.

Oh Well, So What! is one of those songs that you would love to crank up and play in your office when you are having a bad day. This is the closest thing to giving someone the bird in audible fashion.

Illustrated Man is a cool song that would make a good theme song for Miami Ink. It is a great way to close out Pissed.

Pissed is a great hard rock record all the way through. There are no filler tracks, and it is a fun party rock record that is a great listen. Sadly, Pissed was released right in the middle of the grunge movement, and got very little attention. It is one of those nice gems in my collection that I like to break out from time to time. You can still find this one online quite often for under $10.00. It is worth picking up!
