Album Review

The second album by Swedish glam-metal supergroup the Poodles largely stays on the line defined by 2006's fine debut Metal Will Stand Tall: smart, snarky pop-metal delivered with dry wit and plenty of three-chord crunch. Leader Jakob Samuel's old-school hair metal vocals and knack for memorably catchy choruses serve him well on tracks like the opening stomper "Flesh and Blood," the winningly melodic "Without You," and spirited first single "Seven Seas." Though perhaps not as consistently melodic as Metal Will Stand Tall, the 13 tracks here (including an acoustic version of "Seven Seas" at the album's end) are a generally solid blend of the '80s heyday of glammy pop-metal and the darker edges of the modern Scandinavian scene, the former best exemplified by the lighter-ready power ballad "We Are One" and the latter by the heavier thud of "Thunderball" and "Heaven's Closing In." In a metal scene over-dominated by the humorless grind and angsty world views of post-hardcore and black metal, the unapologetic positive vibes and tongue in cheek lipstick look of the Poodles makes for a refreshing, enjoyable change. [A 12-track version of the CD was also released.]

Customer Reviews

VERY SWEET !!!!!

With their last release Metal Will Stand Tall The Poodles have definetly earned the respects in the world of rock. Sweet Trade continues where Metal Will Stand left off and in my opinion a stronger album then their last. If you haven't given these guys a listen your really missing out many tracks like We Are One, Flesh and Blood, Without You and my personal favorite Shine are simple amazing.

GREAT FOLLOW UP!

"THE POODLES" deliver their sophmore release big time. No dog poop (fillers) on this cd. Be sure to listen to this several times. I've seen many reviewers saying they listened to it multiple times as it really grew on them. Understandably so, as the hooks/choruses are bigger than ever (is that possible?). The Poodles come at you with a style/twist that is a little "off" from todays often depressed and dark styles. Production is top notch with layers of sound,thoughtful style, and top notch musicianship. Well appreciated in Europe, these guys are sorely missed by melodic rock fans in the USA. They'd be a hit at Rocklahoma!

DOWNLOAD THE ENTIRE CD !!!

Another great album from the poodles. These guys are addictive. Buy the whole thing or find it somewhere, the Seven Seas is a great anthem song, Flesh and Blood just rules, everything is fierce!
