Covered in Gold

Enuff Z'nuff's latest offering, "Covered In Gold," is a lavish display of glam rock excess that has somehow managed to slip under the radar of the mainstream music scene. The album is a glitzy, over-the-top homage to the golden era of hair metal, complete with soaring vocal harmonies, screeching guitar solos, and more spandex than a Whitesnake reunion tour. From the opening track, "Diamond Boy," it's clear that Enuff Z'nuff are not holding back on their commitment to all things flashy and flamboyant. The production is slicker than a greased-up mullet, with each instrument vying for attention in a cacophony of 80s excess. But beneath the surface-level sheen, there's a surprising amount of depth to be found in the band's songwriting, with tracks like "Strangers In My Head" and "Love is on the Line" offering a glimpse into the softer, more introspective side of Enuff Z'nuff. But it's not all ballads and power ballads on "Covered In Gold." Tracks like "Queen of the Night" and "Roll Me" bring the party vibes in full force, with infectious hooks and bombastic choruses that are sure to get even the most jaded rock fan tapping their foot along. And while the album may not break any new ground in terms of genre or innovation, it's clear that Enuff Z'nuff are more concerned with having a good time than pushing any boundaries. In the end, "Covered In Gold" is a fun, nostalgic romp through the wild world of 80s rock excess. So grab your hairspray, slip into your leather trousers, and get ready to party like it's 1989 all over again. Enuff Z'nuff may not be reinventing the wheel, but damn if they don't know how to make it spin.
