“Madhouse” is a collection that came out from Uzi’s music journey; a journey that didn’t last longer than 7 years.The band which was formed in 1986 out of the ashes of Kidd can be characterized as a typical glam rock band of the time and through this release ,almost two decades since they quit , we are given the chance to have a taste of what Uzi was like.
The collection captures ten of the band’s songs, demonstrating a variety of sounds.This variety is of course expected since the songs are written in a not only seven-year-period but a critical one as well for the music scene, with many changes occurring as far as music influences and demands are concerned.
Listening to “Madhouse” one can come across to classic hard rock/glam tunes,familiar to Skid Row or Motley Crew fans. From sweet love ballad “Away From My Heart” to rebellious “Rocker”, this collection offers forty minutes full of nostalgia for the legendary decade of the 80’s and the glam/sleaze/hair-metal bands that reigned back then.Following “Madhouse” ’s music journey we can still see the changes in the music industry which occurred in the early nineties and the evolving influences that bands like Nirvana and Soungarden caused with their appearance (easily observed in “Wreckerd Man”).
Although we can’t say that Uzi made much different from so many other glam rock bands running around in the 80’s, they sound really good with the majority of their tracks being listened with pleasure, especially by a nostalgic ear.Are you one of those recalling long-haired playboys in make-up and red-head girls in blue-jeans?Well, you should add this album to your collection!
