 Deeeesperado
I think ole Dee is one of the most under rated singer/song writers out there (theres alot more to him than T.S.days).True some of these tunes made it to the Widowmaker album ,but No angels here, and See you at sunrise are great tunes!Glad there seeing the light of day! Well Worth the price!

 Great cowboy metal!
I bought this album almost 10 years ago under the title, "Bloodied, but Unbowed." I found it online and it was put out on Destroyer records. This is typical Dee Snider writing, although I feel it's better than a lot of Twisted Sister material. It has a western metal feel, in the same vein as Jon Bon Jovi's "Blaze of Glory," or anything by the Refreshments. There are some pretty killer guitar riffs in here, too! Key tracks are 1-3, 6, and 9.

 Now I know why...
Desperado was Dee Snider's project just after the demise of Twisted Sister. Recorded in the late 80's, this album was shelved by the record company and the group disbanded. Dee went on to form Widowmaker and that was that for Desperado. Here we are nearly 2 decades later and this album is finally released. If you've heard Widowmaker, you've heard Desperado. (In fact, a few Desperado tunes ended up on the Widowmaker album.) The 2 bands sound just about the same, but I have to say the writing was better on the first Widowmaker disc. Desperado offers nothing particularly memorable or interesting here. Even the album cover is boring. Still, it's a decent listen and I'm glad to finally hear it after all these years.
