Helix? What? Are they Canadian? Of course I had to by Helix’s No Rest For The Wicked. They were the Heavy Metal Love guys fromt he radio. Maybe No Rest For The Wixked wasn’t the heaviest or the metalist but the album had a few good cranker-up-ers.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that Helix had this habit of naming their ablums after songs that would appear on the following album. For example, the album that came out two years prior to No Rest For The Wicked was called White Lace And Black Leather which is the last track on no Rest For The Wicked. Of course that rumours seems to fail here because this album features a song called No Rest For The Wicked. So nevermind I guess.
I didn’t play this one as heavily as Shout At The Devil or Balls To The Wall. I’ve been through half of it this evening and I must say that I’m enjoying it. It doesn’t seem to hold the sentimental nuggets like some of the other albums of The Metal Years but still worthy.
Of course the most memorable track Never Want To Lose You changes the entire course of this record. That song belongs firmly inThe Rise & Fall Of ’84. In fact, I’ll probably hold that one back for later. Maybe I’ll put a link to it here later, just incase you want to jump right to it.
I actually just replaced this album with a Compact Disc just about a year ago. That should kind of give you an idea of the priority.
