  This album is not great, but it's not terrible either.

  Wicked Smile is an Australian band, playing a style of classic NWOBHM metal that owes basically its entire existence to Iron Maiden. Like, most of this seems to have been lifted pretty much directly from Brave New World-era Maiden.

  Personally, if that's what I'm in the mood for, I'm just gonna go put on Brave New World. This is competently done, though, and they occasionally display a bit of originality ("Face Of the Wicked" is probably the best song). I won't be listening to this album again, but I didn't hate it.
