Review - :
{^Still Not Black Enough} is the second and last record employing well-traveled hired gun {$Bob Kulick} while guitarist {$Chris Holmes} was out of the fold. Between him and percussionist {$Frankie Banali}, it's not surprising that this and the preceding {^Crimson Idol} seem more like {$Blackie Lawless} solo discs, and his vision for the band took {$W.A.S.P.} away from their {\shock rock} foundation to a more thoughtful and nearly conceptual plateau. Unfortunately, the results are mixed. Tender balladry, such as the piano-led {&"Keep Holding On"} and {&"I Can't,"} the latter with {$Lawless} assuming a weak falsetto, confused and alienated fans. In spite of inspired musicianship and a few fist-pumping moments ({&"Goodbye America"} and {&"Black Forever"}), {^Still Not Black Enough} implodes upon its own ambition, though the band's subsequent calculated return to blood-and-guts imagery helps one appreciate the effort if nothing else. ~ Brian O'Neill, All Music Guide
