PRETTY BOY FLOYD "Leather Boyz with Electric Toyz"
By Donna Anderson

Cover: 3 Tubes of lipstick out of 10.
This one is basically a cartoon of the band with lightening shooting out of the lead singer's (Steve Summers) hand. Is it supposed to make us think that they're "electric"? It's a pretty cheesy cover but what else would you expect from a cheesy band?!

Booklet: 2 Tubes of lipstick out of 10.
Okay boy"z" and girl"z" the word of the day is cheesy; or as Pretty Boy Floyd would probably spell it - cheezy. I guess they decided that the most important thing was to spend money on pictures for their album. There is a total of 32 1" X 1" pictures of the band plus the cover folds out into a mini poster of the band. Okay this is a band that actually should have a credit listed on their album for makeup (and they do), but who would want to claim responsibility for it?! For those of you who have never seen a photo of PBF, I'll try to sum it up for you, think Tammy Faye Baker with testosterone. Some guys look okay with a little makeup but these guys look like they used a bunch of jumbo markers to apply their makeup. Did they mistake Office Max for Max Factor when shopping for their makeup? I hope you don't want to read the lyrics while you're listening to the album because they aren't there. And I hope you don't want to know who wrote those songs because that's not listed either. Including "Toast Of The Town" which was written by Motley Crue.

Songs: 5 Tubes of Lipstick out of 10.
Well the songs follow the same cheesy pattern as their "image." Don't look for any great songs that will carry on and be remembered through the decades; but at the same time it's not a form of torture to listen to them. Their music is just nothing special; very average for that era. The album consists of just 10 songs and three of them are under three minutes each. I think it's the shortest CD I own - takes less than 40 minutes to listen to the entire album. So I guess you could say it's a "quickie" like their career.

Comments: Over all they are not a bad band to listen to (now to look at is a different story). I just can't give a band that was/is this cheesy a good rating. This is probably a cd that would appeal to girls more than guys; and if you are a guy who does own this I'm guessing your sexual preference has been questioned at least once.
