D-A-D (short for the Danish band’s original, lawsuit-baiting name Disneyland After Dark) has somehow survived since the early Eighties, playing a sleazy, bluesy brand of straightforward rock ’n’ roll that never really caught on in the United States.
The band’s 12th studio album isn’t likely to change that status. If you’re already a fan, purchasing A Prayer for the Loud will be an easy choice. If you’re not a fan, though, these 11 loud and swaggering songs won’t convert you. You’ll keep listening, hoping for something to grab you with a sharp hook -- like the chorus on the title track almost does. Then, 45 minutes later, it’s all over and you won’t really remember what you just heard.
