REVIEW: Warrant, Greatest and Latest (Deadline/Cleopatra)
- Jeanne Schantz
They'll be your 'Cherry Pie'.
The energetic, fun, and frivalous bad boys of Warrant are back with a greatest hits / remix album entitled Greatest & Latest. Composed of their 'monster ballads' and matured bubblegum rock, the disc boasts nine rerecorded favorites including the tongue-in-cheek "Cherry Pie", MTV Viewers Choice winner "Uncle Tom's Cabin", and a plethora of the characteristic heart-warming ballads that made lead vocalist Jani Lane and co. a hot commodity in the late '80s/early '90s. Three brand new tunes - straightforward pop "The Jones", bayou ballad "Southern Comfort", and bass-driven, hard-rocking "Bad Tattoo" - prove that Lane and the boys are a hot commodity for the new millennium, as well.
To fill your palate with even more delictable sounds, four techno-enhanced remixes of some of the band's earlier tunes, including their debut single, "Down Boys", are provided. Giving a collection of greatest hits, a latest twinge.
Ready to rock, giving you more than your "32 pennies" worth, it's Warrant.
