We Are the Ones

by Dee Snider

Overview

The third official solo outing from the Twisted Sister frontman, We Are the Ones splits the difference between the propulsive hard rock/pop metal of 2000s Never Let the Bastards Wear You Down and the campy pageantry of 2012's Dee Does Broadway. Snider has always had one of the best and most recognizable voices in the scene, and We Are the Ones definitely benefits from those seasoned pipes. Snider wastes little time in delivering the kind of anthemic call to arms that fans have come to expect, launching the proceedings with the fist-pumping title track. The snarling "Over Again," a caustic love/hate song with a punk rock heart, impresses as well; the nervy "Crazy for Nothing" satisfies with a snarky, windows-down chorus and snappy, punk-pop backbeat, and a little bit too reverent cover of Nine Inch Nails "Head Like a Hole" proves the perfect fit for Snider's raspy intonation. A piano ballad rendering of Twisted Sister's most beloved song, "We're Not Gonna Take It," which was recorded to benefit rock & roll magician Criss Angel's pediatric cancer research charity HELP, is also surprisingly effective. ~ James Christopher Monger
