It's been a while since Wig Wam released some new material, but finally here it is.  This is the fourth album for this Norwegian band, whose line-up nowadays consists of Glam (Age Sten Nilsen - vocals), Teeny (Trond Holter - guitars), Flash (Bernt Jansen - bass), and Sporty (Oystein Anderson - Drums).

Did you know they first got famous when participating in the Eurovision song contest in 2005 ?  I didn't since I've long time given up following this so called contest.  At some degree you could even compare them to The Poodles, another band who participated at one time or another to the Eurovision Song Contest. Now whereas the first song on the album, "Do You Wanna Taste It" immediately sets you thinking you've got a full blown glam album in your player you're mistaken.  Okay, from time to time there's a fine dose of glam there, but as a matter of fact this is just a good no-nonsense hard rock album, with very catchy - feel good tunes. Next to all the good rockers, they've even managed to throw in a very good ballad "Man In The Moon". Top tracks on this album : "Do You Wanna Taste It" - "Still I'm Burning" - "Man In The Moon" - "All You Wanted" - "Non Stop Rock'n'Roll".

To sum it up: an album full of killers, no fillers.
