Warrant were an interesting band. I caught them as an opener for Britney Fox before their first album dropped, and I was blown away. I remember picking up DRFSR right when it was released and listening to it nonstop. I had a few people ask me who they were when I would be listening. It wouldn't be long before people didn't have to ask, because if you were anywhere near MTV, you knew. I really dug the second album as well. But they lost me with Dog Eat Dog.
Mason is a solid pickup. But I dunno. It just doesn't grab me. And I hate to live in the past, but Mason's vocals aside, there isn't anything about it that makes me think "Warrant."
