If you like Rachel Stamp then it's a shame because you're going to have to remove the album of its glistening glam rock crown and replace it with this electrifying piece of pop panache! Yes,Remote Control are another (yet welcome) band that generates glorious glam pop/rock that gives you no other choice but to abandon the baggy trousers for a night and reach for the eyeliner and feather boa! However, with this 5 star rated album in your record collection, you could listen to all the glitter tunes it has to offer from the comfort of your own home! The title of this album, 'Evil Rats On No Star Live' may be a palindrome of a mirrored image that represents the those who are 'locked in their lifestyles' but it really isn't as serious as that! The album tells a story about a young girl from a dysfunctional family who dreams of breaking free from her strenuous lifestyle to live out a life of rock'n'roll prominence yet even in her dreams she never is truly happy. (She obviously never owned this album!)The first track 'Paradise Syndrome' is one of the less effervescent glam tracks but is the bands gorgeous succesion at placid pop at its most perfect. 'The Electric Kind' is the stand-out track as you feel the shocks down your spine, "Heart skips to the sound of a beating drum"! This song follows with 'frail' and another stand-out track 'Fashion Police' which by this point, if you haven't realised this album is a glam rock masterpiece then this song is about to make you convinced! 'Metal Machine' is your sleazy glam anthem, "So your getting it on in your bedroom" and '1969' is making it very hard for you to dance to the electric beat in your stilettos while Ben John is singing that he listens to the sound of a "dead generation"! 'Starfucker' is taking you over as you sing and pout infront of the mirror only to be then calmed down by the beauty of 'Aliens'. Next your 'Electrified', another stimulating track that will have you singing along with Ben until the album reaches its final track 'Velveteen' and a great finale to the album and the story it is too! There maybe lots of glam rock bands around right now (King Adora, Mo-Ho-Bish-o-Pi, Gay Dad, Rachel Stamp..) but none of them sparkle,snarl and growl as much as this band,none are finer than Remote Control. It is tempting just to say if you like Rachel Stamp then definately buy this album but it wouldn't be doing RC any justice-BUY THIS ALBUM BECAUSE THEY ARE SIMPLY REMOTE CONTROL AND THEREFORE SIMPLY THE BEST!!! (And there's a bonus-not a single Tina Turner in sight!)
