Wrathchild (sometimes known as Wrathchild UK in the United States due to a naming conflict with Wrathchild America) were an English heavy metal band. Rocky had finally refined his vocals & didn’t sound so ‘British’,a great improvement! Brilliant album,just a shame it was their last! The most American sounding album Wrathchild produced! Shes high on luv was a song that could so easily have been on the first Enuff Z’Nuff. Watch me shake me is a hot song, and the album is good. A little feeling of AC/DC´s Hell´s Bells in the guitar intro, eh? Kid Pusher is a great song and the lyrics really stand out of the general level on the album. Favorite song? There are many but I really like “Rokk Me Over” and “Do Whacha Want”. And I love those bands! Yes, it is still very British sounding (think Mott The Hoople meets Motley Crue), but definitely accessible. Yes, you hear Poison, Pretty Boy Floyd, and a little Motley Crue or Van Halen, but the songs are so much funnier and better sounding to me than a lot of those bands. This album smokes its competition, however. This album was definitely Wrathchild trying hard to carve a niche in the American Glam scene, and could’ve succeeded with a bigger push. The debut was on fire,but then I heard DELIRIUM and all fears were quashed. Out-of-print and hard to find Wrathchild release. – WKFM LP 137Ī3 That’s What U Get (When U Fall In Love) Delirium is an album by Wrathchild, released in 1989.
