| A let down, at least to me. The southern feeling is totally lost, and the songwriting with maybe the exception of 1 or 2 tracks is lame compared to the first album. Oh well .... :P

| Right Paulo. Youre right, they lost one of the best singers in the genre. Jefferies were/are superb, and so was their first release. Check his new band Alligator Stew. Its phenomenal.

| Blood Money is superb. Two Wheels too and in fact so is the whole disc. When I listen to it, I just want to sit down and have a glas of Jack D. Do you know if they have plans of a new release.?

| Did u know "Crash Diet" is an outtake from Guns N'Roses Use Your Illusion's recoreding session ?? I've got the demo version played by axl & co. on a bootleg cd, it's really the same song.

| OK Jefferies is an awsome talent! love his stuff with Alligator Stew, 'Blood Money' gives me chills. But this album is not as bad a you people are saying, in fact I think is pretty damn cool! Can anyone tell me what The regulators Cd with Jefferies is like?

| That's Final....Great album, but not the real asphalt ballet sound. If they called themselves something else would you 'critics' say the same thing? Angry Youth, Daddy's Dyin', Outta Hand and the Axl rose penned Crash diet are fantastic!!! Lost Gem...nuff said

| I agree what slik Vicc siad. This is the same thing people did to the Ratt S\T cd. I hate when people say shit when theres a new singer taking over for a good band. The cd is alright.

| Man do I disagree with most the above! I much preferred the new vocalist and more than that, the new songs! 'Angry Youth' shows spirit and fire I did not detect on the debut, 'Daddy's Dyin' is a killer rocker, 'Save the Children' is a great ballad despite the potentially song-ruining name, 'Crash Diet' is done great by these guys and is an awesome song, and many of the other songs are great, 'Anybody' being another highlight I believe. IMO, much better than the debut, especially the songs!

| Good cd but I prefer 10 times their debut.It’s not much more heavier or modern than their debut but it’s not good as the other one,IMO.I think in their debut you can find some great songs,in this one I can find some good song but nothin’killer or awesome.Good second cd but nothin’more

| ...was never the same without Gary on vox.He had that rasp,yet always sang very clean.If you liked "Pigs"-more power to ya.I personally thought "Pigs" was just... well,you know...Pig Sh*t !

| I think I'm with the majority here, in that I preferred the debut cd over this one. Don't get me wrong, this one has some good tracks but I liked Gary Jeffries vocals better. Still a decent release though and it's easy to find it cheap.

| Crash Diet is also done by Wildside the exact same song Axl must have been shopping that song around a bit.The 1st CD is a classic and this isn't bad the singer isn't quite as good but not bad either.If anyone knows more about Crash Diet I'd like to know the real story.

| I too was surprised at how much I enjoyed this album. Avoided picking it up forever but finally broke down and bought it and am glad I did.

Rough as walter said in his comment...agree with him...raw & roll..pure from the heart...i don't have their debut album which somebody told me it has some sparks ala Guns & Roses...gotta find out..."Angry Youth","Daddy's Dying","Save The Children"(wonderful message in the lyrics),"Crash Diet"  (maybe the band CrashDiet from Sweden took their name out of this title song,who knows  ),"Mercy"(solid lovely sound) & "Down to The Money" are my favorite songs...90/100

| Funny you mention GnR: I read an interview with Gary Jeffires, the singer on the first album (and later of the fantastic southern-rock band Alligator Stew), who referred to the singer who came after him in Asphalt Ballet (on this disc) as an Axl clone. The debut is more like semi-southern hair-metal. As I recall, Pigs is more aggressive.

| Yeah Doughouse Reilly...that's what i've heard about their debut...the singer was way too much AXELish... ...cheers mate!!!

| While much appreciation for the debut Pigs was more to my liking. Aside from the occasional meh moment Pigs delivers. Daddy's Dying, Save The Children and Anybody all top class and Nothing To Do With Anything probably being the album highlight. These so-called official write-ups about the net regarding this album would have us believe this was an attempt at grunge but have to disagree. Much like their contemporaries Asphalt felt the heat of the flannel attack and wisely heavied up for the occasion, and to be fair wasn't too far removed from what came before. Sad the industry didn't back more bands the likes of Asphalt Ballet, bandwagon jumping needn't have been such a nasty term, some of the bands creating fantastic music under such pressures (SlikToxic (TwentySomething!) SkidRow (Enemy!) just two quick examples...) Great performances all round, this one was for the heavier inclined and deserved better! Rating 7.5

| Gotta say that ive really come around on this one over the years-good solid record! Being a big Jeffries guy,i didn't give this one an even shake.There's alot to like here.A moody,ballsy record w/ some really good songs.Not as good as the debut but definitely unworthy of being called sh#t.The band itself are just way too good to slag off.
