Three months into the year and I think we have the 2012 WTF award winner that can not be topped - for a good reason, not a bad one.
Reading it for the first time, you might think it would have been some Internet joke, but it's a logical step. Seriously, there were moments in Twisted Sister that did have an air of Theatrical influence, and that's not a dismissal at all. There was something that made them stand out if only for a few good years, and now a secret to the recipe is finally unleashed in Solo Project form. In the end, he always looks like he has to have fun or it means nothing, and that's a great thing.
I think that he liked his presence on the Sin-atra compilation enough to go the whole CD, and there's nothing wrong with that. It may not call for repeated listens and the concept could have fitted better as an EP of four songs in my opinion, but some might seriously like it.
Maybe I won't go the whole album, but this preview was not too bad.

On a technical point, that's true. Usually, it's centered more with Rock Operas, with Jesus Christ Superstar being one of the main outlets for these singers (Jon Lord I think, Sebastian Bach and so on) - either that or Hair or something else that's more with keeping in a Rock or Metal format.
From what I have read of this project, this is more with more traditional standards than anything that's with a basis in Rock. More like Snider having inspired fun with these songs than anything else, nothing serious. In a way, that's half unique.
