Whether or not you're a fan of Steel Panther's ridiculously over the top glam metal, you have to appreciate their dedication. For a comedy rock band, they manage to tell a joke with a surprisingly straight face, jamming out sleazy hair metal in a way that is equal parts caricature and homage.

Whether or not you're a fan of Steel Panther's ridiculously over the top glam metal, you have to appreciate their dedication. For a comedy rock band, they manage to tell a joke with a surprisingly straight face, jamming out sleazy hair metal in a way that is equal parts caricature and homage. With the band's pedigree lying with acts like L.A. Guns and Fight, it's not really a surprise that Balls Out is such a spot-on tribute to the excess of that bygone era, coming from people who were there to see the rise and fall of the genre from the inside. Songs like "It Won't Suck Itself" and "17 Girls in a Row" show that Steel Panther are still the comedy rock masters of the single entendre, but to be fair, subtlety isn't what an album like this is all about. This isn't a carefree, "hang around the house and mow the lawn while you reminisce about the '80s" record, but more of an "all-night bender at a strip club while you reminisce about the '80s" record. If you've been looking for the glam metal equivalent of a theme park ride to be the soundtrack to a guys' night out bird-doggin' chicks, you've found your holy grail. ~ Gregory Heaney, Rovi

Good follow-up to their debut album. The gimmick behind Steel Panther is that they were an 80's metal/hair band that missed fame because they didn't show up for their big meeting with a record company. The band is a parody (and tribute) to bands like Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Poison, and much crappier ensembles, but music they put out is just as good (and oftentimes superior) to what guys like me were listening to in the 80's. Their stuff can be pretty profane, so it's not for kids or anyone offended by sexual or scatalogical language, but if you're in on the joke, it's good fun.
