Cryonic-"Kings of Avalon"


Hair metal is the greatest genre of music ever created. Forever being a haven to the trashiest people to arise from a lack of good public education, hair metal defies the norm by being so misogynistic while at the same time trying to look like women (often times failing utterly). Cryonic is a great example of one of these groups that is so serious in its delivery that its hard to take seriously, thus making it a whole hell of fun. "Avalon," the first track, has the whining of a teenage rebel in the guise of obsession with Arthurian mythology. "Kings Of The Hill" is a party boy anthem, and "No More" is the ballad needed on every album. "Free Like An Eagle" is the only song silly enough to round up this album. 10/10, buy 20 copies to distribute at an orphanage, and listen to it when you sleep (pregnant women should probably have it on a walkman with the headphones on their womb. Yes a walkman because its retro and cool and not for nerds).
