I\u2019ll tell you why. This guy Sabu is gonna have one of the biggest selling records of \u201985, providing things go ahead as planned record company wise. We are talking serious business here. Delete Hagar, delete Y&#038;T and delete just about everybody else, because Sabu are the new gods of guitar orientated rock as we know it.<\/p>\n<p>So many brilliant songs on one LP, I can\u2019t rave about them enough. My favourite is probably \u2018Breakin\u2019 Out\u2019; this number has such atmosphere to it, and it could well turn out to be the natural successor to Y&#038;T\u2019s \u2018Rescue Me\u2019. \u2018Shake, Rattle, Roll\u2019 would even have had Bill Haley shakin\u2019 his head in appreciation. \u2018New Girl In Town\u2019 is a direct Rainbow steal, and I love every second. Listen out for Rick Bozzo\u2019s extravagant over-the-top bass pyrotechnics.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, you have \u2018Hot Flash\u2019 which is a definitive fiery rock song. The title track, \u2018Heartbreak\u2019, ain\u2019t no slush rock wimphem either; it\u2019s killer rockin\u2019 all the way. In fact, it\u2019s been on the cards for a long time that Paul Sabu should be a superstar. I mean, the guy is an in demand producer, an excellent songwriter and a killer vocalist \/ guitarist. My God, what else does this guy need to do? I tell you, I\u2019m totally impressed and I think you will be too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kelv Hellrazer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Review taken from Metal Forces, Issue 12 (1985)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SABUHeartbreak Heavy Metal America (1985)Rating: 10\/10 Paul Sabu must be one of the happiest guys around at the moment, and you may well be wondering why?
