To complete SLEEZE BEEZ studio discography, here’s the Japanese Edition of “Insanity Beach“, the last album from this stupendous Dutch band. Dropped by Atlantic Records as happened after 1992 with all rock bands with melody, SLEEZE BEEZ continued as unit and determined to play the music they loved.
Recorded in the Netherlands with local crew – including Robby Valentine as Orchestra conductor – “Insanity Beach” saw the band toughen their sound. Many fans missed the glammy metal of their 1990 album, or the polished multi-layered sonics of previous effort.
But SLEEZE BEEZ never released the same album, never repeated themselves. And while the quality songwriting is still here, the sound production on “Insanity Beach” is rawer, in your face.
On “Insanity Beach” SLEEZE BEEZ followed the same steps of Skid Row; the turned the sound to a harder, grittier hard rock.
”Tell It To The Judge’, ‘Save Myself’ (killer guitar work), ‘Insanity Beach’ are among the best numbers, and there’s a really good ballad on ‘Long Goodbye’. Overall, the album sounds a little different then previous efforts, dropped the gloss and kicked some ass with this.
Another strong album from the really good band.
