Glam is back indeed. I was really into Tsar's self-titled debut album from back in 2000 and was kinda curious what happened to them. While it may be unfair to completely call Tsar "Glam", they do take many influences from past artists. Regardless, Tsar is back with the dreaded sophomore album and succeed quite easily. The band rocks out hard on the title track, ushering you into the album. It's along the lines of something The (International) Noise Conspiracy would do, with just as much energy. They follow it up with "Wanna Get Dead", a fantastic power-pop track with the chugga-chugga guitars and a very melodic chorus. It's tracks like "Wrong" that give the Tsar boys the glam feel. A very polished and poppy track that glimmers like nobodies business. Band-Girls-Money is a great album, maybe not quite as polished and complete as their debut but a fine album as well. Call Tsar glam, call them power-pop, whatever, bottom-line is that Tsar does rock hard and deserve some airplay and some attention. You can never go wrong with good, raunchy guitars and slick vocals.
