While some might find the concept of New Wave gone Metal a bit daunting, Rivera manages to pull it off with aplomb, delivering an album that is both fun and intriguing in equal measure. So crank up the volume, grab your hairspray, and get ready to headbang your way through "Metal Wave". Trust me, you won't regret it.
