- Great album...strange reissue
Originally released in 1990, Dirty Weapons was the fourth studio album from Canadian melodic rockers Killer Dwarfs. It's a shame this band never made a bigger impression, because their Ratt meets Quiet Riot brand of party metal should have gone over quite well in the mid 1980s. Perhaps the band's goofball image kept the average hair metal fan at a distance.

Dirty Weapons is another classy, upbeat melodic hard rock album (it just doesn't seem appropriate to call this kind of music "metal" anymore) on par with what we were hearing from most mainstream rock bands at the time. It's not quite as AOR-ish as Bad English or Tyketto, but not as obnoxious as Warrant or Faster Pussycat either. It's just a very solid, very melodic rock album that should have done a lot better than it did for the band.

Anyone still interested in 80's hard rock and metal really ought to have some Killer Dwarfs in their ... Read More

- Great Music by an Overlooked Band
A solid release of 80s Hard Rock/Pop Metal songs that makes you wonder why this group wasn't more well-known. Solid vocals, musicianship, and songs ranging from Ballads to Hard Rockers (mostly Hard Rockers). This is a must-have for any 80s Rock fan.

- By far their best, now even better with the bonus tracks!
I remember hearing the song "Dirty Weapons" on some metal compilation and I just thought, what a great song. I had to check out more of the Killer Dwarfs. I remember seeing a video on MTV years and years ago where I think his name is Russ is in box being bounced around town. I can't remember the song but a very interesting video. I never saw it again. Needless to say label support was lacking with this band. That is why they didn't get the video rotation or airplay back then. Evidence is this here album or should I say CD. The material on this is strong rock and even contains a power ballad, "Doesn't Mattter", a prerequisite in the 80's hair band days. The band liked it so much they released it again on the "Method To The Madness" CD, the era from where this recording hails. Anyway let's get to the music.

1. Dirty Weapons 10/10. Just fantastic

2. Nothin' Gets Nothin' 9/10 Great ... Read More

- Spectacular rock gem!
This record is really good!!! I wore out my cassette back in the 90's so I had to buy it on disc. Very underrated band that were talented and made really fun, rock music. Dirty Weapons, Last Laugh, Coming Through(my ode to the liberals), Not Foolin and Want it bad are just some of the gems here. A must buy. It should've sold at least 5 million, easy. Oh well, I bought it and that's all that matters. I'm happy and you will be too, so get it, now. This is one of the last real good metal records to come out before the horrible grunge sound ruined it all. This is a must have. Buy it, crank it up and grab a cold one...rock on. Go Dunk!!!
