Whitesnake - Good To Be Bad

Bluesy glam-rockers with a penchant for industrial-strength guitar sounds are back with a vengeance.

The ageing Whitesnake, who are releasing Good to be Bad after a sabbatical of over a decade, have signalled to parents that it's time once again to lock up your daughters and stuff the loo roll back in your ears.

As ever for this all-American band, which has only one original member, monster metal riffs are interspersed with rock ballads and triumphant choruses.

The unashamedly masculine glam-metal anthems are at times too cheesy to bear, but this effort is sure to delight die-hard fans.

Look out for Summer Rain and Lay Down Your Love which hark back perfectly to the band's hair-raising wonder years.
