Blackout in the Red Room, the debut album from Los Angeles hard rockers Love/Hate, came out on Columbia on February 22, 1990, with Tom Werman producing. Jizzy Pearl, a founding member, is the voice out front, a raw, raspy howl that sounds like it's been gargling gravel and cheap bourbon.
It's glam metal with dirt under its fingernails, sleazier and more street-level than the hairspray crowd, and the MTV crowd noticed: the video for "Why Do You Think They Call It Dope?" got solid rotation, mostly on Headbangers Ball. The album itself only crept to number 154 on the Billboard 200, and "Rock Queen" is the track that made the countdowns. Wasted in America came next.
