Inside the Electric Circus is the third studio album by American heavy metal band W.A.S.P., released in October 1986[1] through Capitol Records; a remastered edition featuring two bonus tracks was reissued in 1997 through Snapper Music.[2] The album is the band's first to feature singer and bandleader Blackie Lawless playing guitar, having switched from bass to rhythm guitar.[2] It reached No. 60 on the US Billboard 200 chart,[3] where it remained for 19 weeks.[4]
Critical reception
Шаблон:Music ratings Greg Prato at AllMusic gave Inside The Electric Circus three stars out of five, calling it "[an attempt] to grow musically with each successive release".[5] Canadian journalist Martin Popoff considered the album "slightly more simplified and hard rock-based" than previous works and reminded in his review how Lawless "in retrospect considered this record a failure."[6]
Lawless himself has been critical of Inside The Electric Circus, going as far as to name it his least favorite W.A.S.P. album, calling it a "tired record done by a tired band".[7]
