R*tist 4*merly Known as Dangerous Toys - Pink

This is a great cd. Each song has a different vibe, and style. The bonus tracks are great also! This is a must have for any rock fan. Dangerous Toys nailed it with this one!

Loved the different sounds tothis cd. Every song sounds like a different style of metal

TERRIBLE!! Now I love Dangerous Toys's first three albums. Kick ass in every way! But this album is an absolutely lame aproach at grunge/alternative rock of the mid nineties. They fed into the times here, and why I don't know. Every song sounds like crap-ass Nirvana or NIN. Don't buy if you are a true metal head. This album should have been under a different band name. Enough said!

Not what Dangerous Toys fans wanted to hear at the time in 1995 but they only did what other hard rock bands did in that era! (Warrant, Dokken, Shotgun Messiah, Wildside etc..) They did try something different and to my ears and mind this is pretty good stuff! Especially the first 6 songs! Love the lyrics as well!I know some people think this is crap but if you listen to it more then once it will grow on you!!I like it and I see others do too!! Just don't expect the same sound from the first 3 cds as this is a trippy/heavy stuff!!

I remember exactly where I was when I first discovered this cd. I picked it up at a book store in Los Angeles for a couple bucks. Surprised that one of my favorite bands was still around & still puttin' out records. A few minutes later, I had to pull my car over to the curb on Robertson Blvd. in Beverly Hills just to make sure what I was listening to was really Dangerous Toys. Shocking! Where were Jason's high-end vocals? Where was the sleazy rock that they were so good at? At first, I was highly disappointed. But then I really started to listen & as each song turned into the next, I began to realize just how good this cd was. I couldn't play it loud enough. Couldn't play it often enough. Couldn't get enough of it.Rumor has it that the band considered changing their name because of the radical change in sound. But I'm glad they didn't. The title of the cd & Tommy Pons' hilarious & brilliant cover art says it all. I could list certain stand-out cuts, but it would be a waste of words & a waste of time. Every song is incredible. From the first song all the way to the last trippy track, "Mom & Dad." They're all amazing! Listen to this record all the way through & at high volume. Whether you were an old D. Toys fan or not, it'll be worth it. This just may be their finest work yet!

Excellent songwriting. Way different sound than earlier releases. They certainly jumped on the bandwagon stylistically so to speak but we all grow and change so why shouldn't they. Grossly underrated and overlooked at the time. Remains to this day a top 10 album of all time for me personally.

Though the cover is admittedly ridiculous and probably killed its fair share of sales, it belies the content; this disc is one of the most criminally overlooked, groundbreaking albums of the 1990s (on an extremely short list that also includes Failure's Fantastic Planet and Faith No More's Angel Dust.) Like all great albums, this one doesn't reveal all its charms on the first, third, or even twentieth listen, it is, instead, infinitely rewarding. With glam/hair metal dead and gone by this point, Dangerous Toys, with nothing left to lose (as the cover indicates, the DT once loved by MTV is a thing of the past), appropriated the new musical language dominating the culture (grunge, industrial), melded it with their love of pure rock and roll, and crafted what I consider to be a masterpiece. The songs are experimental and bold, thoughtful, melodious and incredibly heavy, and brim at the edges with genuine anger. This record is an example of superb musicianship, and represents the beautiful, brutal sound of honesty. Highly recommended to anyone lucky enough to find a copy.

This cd is very weak. It killed the band. It was the nail in the coffin to finish them off. I can say when I bought this it disappointed me bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
