The Unattractive Revolution

The Unattractive Revolution is the second album, combining thick riffs, flashy choruses and a dark mood. After losing Dave Lepard, the remaining three initially decided they couldn't continue, but with the response from fans worldwide and the understanding of Lepard's family they resolved to keep the name alive. In January 2007 they brought in Finland's H. Olliver Twisted (Reckless Love) as their new singer, and released this album on Universal that October. It's a record that had to prove, in sound itself, what carrying the name meant. The 1980s flash at the band's core remains, but heavier tension and urgency enter the playing. The strength of the hooks on the opening single “In the Raw” and “Falling Rain” is intact, and a strong will to restart runs through the whole. Mötley Crüe's Mick Mars plays lead guitar on “I Don't Care” and “Alone.” Produced by Patrik Frisk, it reached No. 11 at home. They also opened for Hardcore Superstar, but Twisted would leave the following year. A record that hardened the band's outline while getting past tragedy.
