Toad – Stop This Crime (2001)

March 20, 2024

Stop this crime? What crime? The only crime here is this band’s attempts at ballads. If you wanna go ahead and stop those, I’m with you 100% of the way, my dudes. Toad’s 4th album, released 26 years after the previous studio album, is a bit of a wet fart of a comeback. The production is fantastic, but the album is top-loaded, with excellent numbers at the start, but the record soon meanders off into the mediocrity of blues and power ballads, both of which blow ass and suck as hard as the rock that the group claim to play. All in all, a mixed bag.
