Moving into the new decade, Lita came out with this, a pretty damn good example of a solid hair metal/hard rock album.
Its style is not as sugary as her previous two efforts had been. On Dangerous Curves she has stuck primarily to delivering hard rock songs ala Bon Jovi and Motley Crue, with good choruses backed by good background vocals (Jeff Scott Soto and Joe Lynn Turner, for goodness sakes!!!). There is nothing startling here, just good solid rock in Lita's indominatable style.
There is a bounty of great songs on here. Larger Than Life, Shot Of Poison, Playin' With Fire, Hellbound Train, Black Widow, Little Too Early and Holy Man are wonderful examples of what Lita could do at the peak of her powers.
It really is a shame that she decided to pull out of the industry following this. Though her spotlight was being shared by this time, with the arrival of bands like Vixen on the scene, she was still quite clearly the leader in her genre.
Rating : For fans of the era and the genre, this is a fun album to listen to. 3.5/5.
