WASP - I Wanna Be Somebody

Review by Rodrigo Campos

The album "I Wanna Be Somebody" by WASP is a classic heavy metal masterpiece that showcases the band's raw energy and powerful vocals. Released in 1984, the album features iconic tracks such as "Animal (F**k Like A Beast)" and "School Daze" that have become staples of the genre.

Frontman Blackie Lawless delivers a commanding performance throughout the album, with his soaring vocals and intense stage presence. The guitar work of Chris Holmes and Randy Piper is equally impressive, with blistering solos and heavy riffs that drive the songs forward.
