With largely the same lineup that produced the stellar Idol, W.A.S.P. released the similarly conceptual Still Not Black Enough to eager fans everywhere. Still Not Black Enough is not strictly a concept album, however, and much less a rock opera but the album is nevertheless based on the more keyboard-heavy moments of the Idol and deals with Lawless' personal demons. That is, until track 6 where a syrupy and wildly inferior version to "Hold on to My Heart" titled "Keep Holding On" absolutely kills the buzz. Thereafter, the listener has to wait through the dumbed down jock rock of "Rock and Roll to Death" (it fitted just fine on the compilation, though) and another "Hold on to My Heart" rewrite before the album starts to redeem itself.

it's called Goodbye America

anyway, an uneven album, 3 ballads is too much, the Jefferson Airplane cover is filler.

unfortunately it's not the case, the ballads were weak on SNBE (in my opinion, obviously). They tried to make another Hold on to My Heart (great song), but failed.
