The fourth studio long-player from the glittery glam rock/punk metal enthusiasts,
Nine Lives and Forty-Fives
is an unabashed love letter to '70s power pop, blue-collar juke joint swagger, and Sunset Strip glitz. More
Redd Kross
than
Moetley Cruee
,
Prima Donna
have some glam metal tendencies, but any predilection for big-hair excess is tempered by a seemingly genuine love of pop songcraft. The 11-track set opens with the fiery "Pretty Little Head," a punk-addled semi-thrasher that threatens to bust into "Ballroom Blitz" at any given moment. Delivered with appropriate amounts of bluesy gusto and good-natured rabidity by frontman
Kevin Preston
, who also lends his pipes to
Green Day
's garage rock alter ego
Foxboro Hot Tubs
, it provides a suitable litmus test for listeners wondering whether or not they should go deeper into the cigarette butt-strewn rabbit hole. What follows are seven more originals and three covers ("I'm on Fire" [
Dwight Twilley
], "Rock and Roll Is Dead" [
the Rubinoos
], and "Rip Her to Shreds" [
Blondie
]), with highlights arriving via the giddy, '90s alt-rock-inspired, handclap-laden "Deathless" and the meaty kiss-off anthem "Like Hell," the latter of which wouldn't have sounded out of place on a mid-period
