by Curtis ZimmermannWith their self-titled debut album, Dangerous Toys found themselves in regular rotation on MTV. At the time their Southern rock-influenced metal was noticeably different from the hair metal dominating MTV's Headbangers Ball. The album contains such memorable, and somewhat laughable tracks as Take Me Drunk, Feels Like a Hammer, Sportin' a Woody, plus their breakthrough hit Teas'n, Pleas'n. Despite the bands enduring reputation as a cult favorite, the album has a very corporate rock feel. The fact that Jason McMaster's sounds like Axl Rose only furthers this idea. Still, this CD fairs better than most from the genre at the time.
