Cover Art Lords of Acid
Our Little Secret
[Antler Subway/Never]
Rating: 4.8

So here it is: 13 tracks of sucking, fucking and drugging set to appropriately pounding dance music. I should love this album, but Our Little Secret is a dropped ball after the excellence of the Lords' previous recording: Voodoo-U. It's essentially the same songs with slightly different lyrics and less interesting music. Nothing new. Boring. Tired. They're venturing into 2 Live Crew territory now, and that's a bad thing.

To quote: "She turns into a tiger when she's ready to eat/ my pussy's always ready for a big chunk of meat/ so lay your little pussy right next to mine/ you can bring her over 'round dinnertime." 'Nuff said. Good for wanking, though.
