Danger Danger is keyboard infested 80's radio rock with a heavy metal sheen and image. The band has chops and can write a good, memorable pop rock hook. While the song writing for this type of 80's rock is simplistic and anthemic, it seems that all these bands had at least one shredder who could pull off a good solo in an instant. It seems that Danger Danger had two shredders. However, as might be expected from this type of music, the ballads seem to be the focus here, rather than anything hard or heavy. The theme here is good looks, pop hooks, and partying all night long. What else could you infer from song titles like "Bang Bang", "Live It Up" and "Turn It Up." Overall, Danger Danger is a bit to sugary and light to be considered heavy metal, or even pop metal, but for an 80's melodic hard rock album, this one isn't bad at all. File with Def Leppard's "Hysteria" or almost anything from Bon Jovi.
