Blue Murder were starting to sounding hopelessly outdated on their second album, 1993’s Nothin’ But Trouble. But in 1993 my taste in music was hopelessly outdated so I gobbled it right up. Compared to their bold debut album, Nothin’ But Trouble is a more calculated, commercial effort and there’s some rote wimphem here like Love Child and Save My Love. But I didn’t mind… back then I would have listened to Mr. Blobby if John Sykes was his guitarist. And there are some blazing rockers here like We All Fall Down and Cry For Love that took me right back to the glory days of Whitesnake’s 1987 and Thin Lizzy’s Thunder And Lightning.
HEAVY METAL OVERLOAD 
I used to have this one CD, but sadly no more. I still want to get it back. I definitely didn’t like at much as the debut but there were some things worth getting.

Yeah it’s got some great stuff on it. But not as good as the debut and I don’t think it’s aged very well either.

Interesting. Since I haven’t heard it in awhile I don’t know how it’s aged. Now I want to hear it to see how badly it did.

Maybe dated isn’t quite the right way to put it but the debut definitely holds up better today.

Please tell me it has a track as badly named as ‘Sex Child’ on it?

No it has ‘Love Child’ instead which is less skeevy lyrically but much shitter musically. Win some lose some.

If they’d made a third LP I wonder if there’d have been a track on it called ‘Tepid Feelings Child’ on it?

Yep or ‘Expensive Divorce Child’ maybe.

I think my brother bought this but I never heard it. Maybe I’ll pull it up on Apple. Sykes has fallen right off the face of the earth. So much for that album coming a few years back.

I had a feeling that album was never going to appear. Seemed doomed from the start.

Yeah your right. 30 years late to the party.

I waited for this album and ordered it and waited even longer. And I loved it back then and still do today.
It’s not as good as the debut but it’s still quality. Then again the unheard “Out Of My Tree” Sykes album is even better.

Yes I’ve got a real soft spot for this one, it’s a good album for sure. I’ve not heard ‘Out Of My Tree’. Or heard of it! Will see if I can find it for a listen.
