They’re crude, they’re blunt. There are no hidden meanings in Mickey’s lyrics, and when he says he wants to suck your nipple, you best believe it’s exactly what his intentions are. It’s this no-holds-barred approach that is so intoxicating about Mickey. No frills, just straight up raw rock n’ roll that lends a new meaning to the word catchy. Rock n’ Roll Dreamer is glam rock—an era of careless, frivolous fun. Mickey deftly weaves us between different panes of their glam rock psychosis, where each song is a carefree, riotous anthem, and not a single note or line is out of place. Make no mistake; every stroke of genius on this album is totally deliberate. Mickey lays it on thick. Had they misstepped, this album could have sounded like a horrible parody of Twisted Sister; instead, they’ve smartly pulled out all the stops and created an album that calls to mind the carefree days where sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll were the only pressing priorities to attend to. The album features a good balance with a medley of love songs (“For You”, “She’s So Crazy”) coupled with some badass rock n’ roll whammies such as the title track. Mickey encapsulates the spirit of rock n’ roll effortlessly, and when the album’s over, it’s quite the surprise to find out that I am still indeed in the year 2011.
