From: David	Date: August 20, 2002 at 0:36
Yeh TIM, I really liked it, but it took me a while to get into.

From: David	Date: August 20, 2002 at 0:37

i've forgotten about this one...till it shows up around here..i had this disc but i sold it because i didn't like it that much to be honest..normally i only post comments when i like the record..i never diss on discs i don't like.. i remember it was ok but i knew it was going to end in some dusty corner after having its spins...sorry guyz nitrodoll1974@hotmail.com

I remember when this came out and seeing them on the tour about 8 times. I thought they were a mega band that could have been huge but it screwed up on them after signing to Virgin. Hmmmm..... I remember a lot of Aussie bands at the time suffered the same fate after joining that lable. A curse maybe?.....

Where can i bye it, i´m living in Denmark. Please help me !!!

They were a great live band, especially with Mark Easton out front. If all you heard was the CD you'd think they were some crappy garage band but they were heaps better than that, this cd didn't do much for them. The production was crap and they had lots of better songs from the earlier lineups which never made the album ???

I really liked this album. Good rockin' sleaze! Plus, the cd came with free stikkaz!

faster pussycat meets early skid row. great stuff!

CAndy harlot sucks and a disgrace to my home country!AC/DC is ten times better than them. They are australia answer to Poison?what a laugh!

From: Geoff	Date: August 15, 2004 at 23:15
Like I said about Roxus, this is one of those CDs that makes me proud to be Aussie. The killer hard rock of 'Sister's crazy', the wonderful 'Danger' and the beautiful 'Where no one dares' - just a few of the excellent tracks on offer here. Yes, really quite a great commercial hard rock CD. 7.9/10

From: Rycheage	Date: November 12, 2004 at 19:47
This gives sleaze glam a whole new definition. Good musicianship and full of sleaze type cheesy lyrics, this is definitely in the Poison/L.A. Guns camp. Not quite up to their par, but very good nonetheless. Worthwhile party rock if you like it sleazy.

From: Alexxtcatz	Date: May 21, 2005 at 17:43
Not so good as i expected...Roxus is AOR and much better.

I can't beleive I found this CD, the album and the (hot metal) demo tape are on high rotataion, for about a month every year or so. Between the harlotts and BB Steal, Aussie rock in the late 80's and early 90's never sounded so good, these two bands kicked arse. If you don't \have access to a copy of this C.D. you are f\doing yourself a disservice, borrow a copy or even beg for one, it rocks like nothing else. ignore all negative comments amnd make your own decision. you will not be disapointed

I was pretty disappointed with this one. After the rockin' first track 'Backstreet Boys', I had high hopes for the rest of the disc, but unfortunately it doesn't deliver IMO. 'The Other side of love' ain't that bad, but nothing can compare to the album opener. Before hearing this album I heard their 'Hot Metal' demo tape, and the songs on that are done much better than the versions that are on this disc.

I'm an aussie and I consider most of our home grown music to be crap at best. But these guys were different. This album is terrific hard rock. It was a pity that they came on the scene in 92 otherwise they could have gone places. Heaps better than kings of the sun and even AC/DC.

From: Helix	Date: November 10, 2006 at 16:48
For me This was just an average cd. Could have been a better cd if they had a better production.

From: RatScare	Date: December 17, 2008 at 23:46
Absolute classic, the best Aus album in the genre. These guys were different to anything else at the time, could have been huge!

From: RatScare	Date: December 17, 2009 at 22:43
the Candy Harlots (album line up) have just done a couple of reunion shows and they where great!!! Stay posted for the DVD / Album to follow. Very cool guys happy to have a drink and a chat

From: rockhardrock	Date: January 15, 2011 at 14:51
well this album rocks hard for sure. so here we have another very good sleaze/glam album. at first i couldn't believe when i read they are from australia i was certain they were from u.k. songs i like here:backstreet boys, danger, my flame and what are we fighting for.

superb debut by CANDY HARLOTS and def a band that knew what was doin!their sound is somewhere between LA GUNS & FASTER PUSSYCAT and with a better frontman they could possibly do more!from the first tunes you can realize their true sleazy attitude which is nt a fake!the guitars and the rhythm section are ok and the songs will satisfy you!"where no one dares","the lady shakes","the wildest way" ,"what are we fightin for" are fine songs and overall Five Wicked Ways a nice addition to your collection

From: Auslander	Date: February 18, 2020 at 11:43
Much loved band when this came out amongst my friends and I. Sadly, they were a little late onto the sleaze scene. I still play this often and it brings me back to 1992. Essential track: Sisters Crazy.
