Dangerous Toys – The R-Tist 4-Merly Known As Dangerous Toys – Compact Disc

The R*tist 4-Merly Known As Dangerous Toys is the fourth studio album by the American hard rock band Dangerous Toys, released in 1995. The title of the album is a clever nod to the symbol Prince used during a period when he was known as “The Artist Formerly Known As Prince.” The release of this album came at a challenging time for the band, as the musical landscape was undergoing a significant shift dominated by the rise of grunge and alternative rock.

During the early ’90s, grunge had become the prevailing genre, and many hard rock and glam metal bands faced difficulties adapting to the changing tastes of the music industry. Dangerous Toys, known for their energetic and sleazy hard rock sound, decided to experiment with a new direction on this album. The result was a departure from their earlier, more straightforward hard rock style, incorporating elements of alternative rock and grunge.

The album features a mix of heavy guitar riffs, gritty vocals, and a somewhat raw production style that aligns with the alternative rock aesthetic of the time. While this departure might have surprised some fans who were accustomed to the band’s earlier sound, it also showcased their willingness to evolve and experiment creatively. The tracks on the album touch upon various themes, combining introspective lyrics with the band’s signature musical intensity.

Despite facing challenges in terms of commercial success and critical reception, The R*tist 4-Merly Known As Dangerous Toys stands as a testament to Dangerous Toys’ ability to adapt to the changing musical landscape. While it may not have achieved the same level of success as their earlier works, the album reflects the band’s resilience and willingness to navigate the evolving dynamics of the music industry during a transitional period in rock music.
