The cover art speaks volumes. Canada's Kick Axe are a band not to be taken seriously; while no slouches as musicians, they are as good at getting you to raise your devil horns as they are raising a smile on your face. Vices is an album that you should put on if you are looking to have a laugh while hearing some great guitar playing; this is not Steel Panther tryhard forced humour, but more William Shatner doing metal covers funny.

The songs happened to be too long and repetitive. I like the sound though, and the opener Heavy Metal Shuffle is a real banger

I wasn't expecting much from a band called Kick Axe, it was surprisingly good an album though. Good musicians, quite repetitive songs yes, definitely nowhere near a masterpiece album. I don't agree with Johnny: the vocalist is good, the backin vocals on the other hand don't seem to add anything of value and hence are unnecessary.
