Baby Animals- self-titled

This is the debut album from the Baby Animals, which was released in 1991.

I bought the album purely for One Word. Thanks to the endless catchy hooks, inspiring lyrics and snappy breaks, this song is drunken singalong nirvana. Hopefully this snappy single also leads to an album of great substance?

Rush You and Early Warning have similar intoxicated appeal, although not quite to the same level as One Word, so you'll need to be a bit more wasted! Nonetheless, they are still a very enjoyable way to spend 4 minutes.

Painless is getting far too close to Dixie Chicks for my liking. The verses are passable, but the chorus is awfully uninspired. Break My Heart also has an awful chorus, and not just due to the depressive lyrics.

Ain't Gonna Get is a somewhat enjoyable headbanging romp, but nothing to write home about. Apart from that, the rest of the album holds no appeal for me.

I diggit?

The answer to the question posed at the start is mostly a disappointing "no". Despite that, the couple of hits grant this album niche appeal for when the time is right (although I must admit that I'd go for the Sin City EP instead most of the time).
