Stairway to heaven? With seventeen years between their album release of ‘America’s Least Wanted’ their back with a killer record ‘Straight Out Of Hell!’ The first song ‘Devil’s Paradise’ grabs you by the throat and it never lets go, verry heavy riffing and Withfield Crane blends right in with his vocals.‘You Make Me Sick’ is the second song on the album it’s a very laid back song to nod along with. The crunchy sound of the guitar makes the song. ‘No One survives’ begins with acoustic strumming of chords and in the chorus it goes over in heavy distortion chords and so on.the chorus is very catchy to sing along with, so I guess they can add it to their setlist aside ‘cats and the cradle’ if they go on tour. ‘I’m Allright’ is like a modern version of an AC/DC song. The voice of Withfield Crane is a bit like bon scot’s voice. ‘Love Ain’t True’ is a grungy song with combination of trumpets and other brass. The vocals are more hardcore minded if you ask me. Great song! ‘Another Beer’ is a acoustic song with county influences. Another beer is all I need.There are three acoustic songs added to the album, the cats and the cradle is nicely done. They also did ‘no one survives’ in an acoustic version witch has no extra value for me, but I guess they did it to get to their 9 songs to make a full album.'Stairway to Hell' Track Listing:01.
