"You're still best served witnessing them in their crude, arena-straddling glory."
What began as riotous laughter on their debut became sporadic sniggers on their fourth studio album, 2014's All You Can Eat.
Although musically the glam metal jokesters' pastiche remained spot-on, once the hairspray cloud cleared Steel Panther's sleazy comedic riffs didn't offer the same consistency.
Like its predecessor, this largely adheres to formula; not every track proves memorable and some gags fall flat. Ballad That's When You Came In (nudge-and-wink to critics included) proves a highlight, and Satchel's guitar pyrotechnics help ensure party anthems I Got What You Want and Anything Goes have playlist staying power while eliciting guffaws. You're still best served witnessing them in their crude, arena-straddling glory.
