Hit: 3 Stars
New Jersey act Trixter was one of the last stragglers out of the 80's hair metal scene. The band was barely out of their teens when this self-titled debut album was released in 1990, but they managed to get some favorable coverage and a decent MTV hit with the single One in a Million.
There were still plenty of great hair metal and melodic rock albums coming out when the 90's rolled around, but this, I'm sorry to say, wasn't one of them. This is a "pop metal by the numbers" album all the way. Aside from a couple of catchy singles, there's really nothing going on here that you couldn't have found on about a hundred other albums in 1990. Unless you were a fan of the band back in the day, or have an insatiable appetite for all things hair metal, I can't recommend this album with any enthusiasm. It comes across as watered down even by Warrant/Winger/Poison/Danger Danger's standards.
Trixter would go on to issue a follow up album (Hear) and a covers album before being washed away in the alternative rock wave of the early 90's. As much as I enjoy this kind of music, it's not hard to understand how a band like Trixter didn't have the kind of staying power to weather out that particular storm.
PS - Comic book fans might note the familiar style of the album's cover artwork. Legendary Batman artist Neal Adams provided the artwork for the cover and interior booklet.
