| I Don't about Purrfect Kat, but these guys really rock. They sound like mix between Motley Crue/Skid Row. Pretty impressive!! There seconds album is the best!

| Hey Tim.....Yes this cd is very good from start to finish and is worth buying but their second cd called Blindmans Justice which was released in 1995 is not as good because they changed their music style.

| Excellent production and put a lot of effort in, both of their cd's are worth the price. One more thing if TIM, Jason (FA - Q), Kim, Desslar and Koogles haven't heard this band please do me a favor and go out and buy their second release called Blindmans' Justice first and I would love to hear what you guys have to say about them. I recommend this album so much. Just Excellent!!!!! P.S. I had this band recommended to me, and I took a punt and it was the best musical move I've mad in my live.

| A cross between Motley Crue and Skid Row???.....Really?...I disageee with that opinion but I respect it...If thats what you hear when you listen to this cd then that's cool but cuz I know Tim I best give my opinion of who they sound like ...hmmmm....ok...I think they sound more like Evenrude but that's just my lil opinion.

| I will buy them the next time I see them. But eventhough theyre from Sweden, close to Denmark where I live. Its damn hard to find releases by them. I`ll keep looking though. I think some of the players now play in the party band Black Ingvars.

| I don't have this site bookmarked and only stop in when I am looking for certain song tracks so I won't be able to reply all the time when I asked something...I do like this site and donated to it about 3 years ago so hopefully more will do the same because there is an awful lot of work done to keep it maintained....I have to give opinions of bands on a regular basis because I sell and trade all the time so I can't afford to make a mistake when I give an opinion or else a cd could be returned.

| I am no expert on music but when I see bands being advertised as something they are not then I have to give an honest opinion or people will be really disappointed if they buy some of the cds that are being described as something they are not...The person who left the feedback on Hysteria sucking is a prime example of a person who is jealous of the success the band got and there for decided to make an inaccurate statement that they sucked..An opinion is one thing but Facts are another.

| A Swedish melodic hard rock masterpiece, an absolute must-own for any fan of the genre. Matt Leven is one of the greatest hard music singers of all time, on par with the likes of Jeff Scott Soto, Mark Free, & Sebastian Bach, and his vocals mesh perfectly with the punchy hooks and great choruses on this CD. A lot of high-priced CDs ain't worth crap but this puppy is worth every penny. Sell your body on the streetcorner if you have to in order to afford a copy...it's really that good.

| I am a fan of Mats Leven. For sure this is a great hard rock album. Rock n' roll city is a great song with a cool lyric. I have only 8 songs, and I have downloaded them. This cd is very hard to find, a good idea would be reprint it. I hope that some label will hear my call.

| Pues a mi me parece un disco bastante flojo, solo "Rock'n'Roll City" y "We're Wild young and Free", se salvan de la quema, esta última sobretodo, el resto hardrock del montón y olvidable, bueno mencionar tambien "Hollywood Dreams" una balada resultona pero nada mas. En resumen otros que se apuntaron al carro del hardrock americanizado y les salio mal la jugada.

| I guess I should put my two cents in on this cd. This cd totally rocks. I am a big EVENRUDE fan all the way. When I shelled out $150 for his cd, everyone thought I had lost my mind. But this and his are both awesome. Good vocals, and good songs. Straight up ass kicking rock and roll. Swedish Erotica and Evenrude keep it up. Rock on!

| Both Cd's are Great in there Respected Styles, listen to the First one if you wanna be Layed Back and Rock, Blindmans Justice will Rock Your Socks Off, the Guitar Sound and Hooks are More Agressive and Really Grabs ya by the Balls, alittle funky in areas, Alternative?....no, just good ole 80's Funky Slammin Hard Rock....Recommended...

| The 2 Swedish Erotica CDs are all over eBay now and are reasonably priced, so snap up this first one if you see it. "Blindmans Justice" is not my bag at all, but this one is absolute class and is very similar to Evenrude as mentioned above, but slightly rockier and with better vocals. Both this, and Evenrude are essential CDs though.

| A really great record. But don´t buy the japanese version, cause there are 2 songs missing- "Rock´n Roll City" and "Hollywood Dreams" (Acoustic version), which are on the swedish and german pressing. So you get 12 songs there and not only 10. I own the rare german 1´st pressing from ´89 with the blue backcover. The most cd´s I saw had the black one. So take this album at any price cause it rocks!

| Oh the joys of this CD! The mighty Mats Leven lending his heavenly vocal chords to some first class riff heavy sleaze metal. I love it! Not a track I dislike here and some of the coolest riffs out there. Too many of the great hard rockers to single out, but also want to mention how wonderfully they pull off the ballad too. I love 'Hollywood dreams', but then again I love the whole album! The other vocalist is excellent too... 9.3/10

| We should have it called Swedish boredom! sorry 4 these words but I don't wanna offend to the fans & less the swedish! where is the punch, the fury, the attitude & the most important where is the fuckin'roll sleazeglam here. Listenings & Listenings and I feel as cold as a cold cold shower(KIX).C'mon is soft & so boring 4 meand I don't understand what"the fuck are doing these tedious non real glammers here"! hey Johnny D'Fox(your Hellcats still are wrong) S.E. is the typical AOR hardrock band

| Without any kind of claim. "R'n'R city" is all less that(need more attitude), "wild young & free" is not bad good vocals in a little bit sleaze style but nothing more "Love me or leave me" & "Love on the line"(just horrible, I hate this kind of metal screams). This is exactly the worst 4 me I hate all the conceited metal singers, I don't want this 4 me and less 4 my R'n'R band); "Hwood Dreams" is so stuck up which no means that (very boring);"Love hunger" stupid lyrics love hunger at the first

Coverdale(1987 album) or some kind similar singers! OOh my god!I don't beleive it! I don't know why I bought this(because I'm the bigger sleazeglamjunkie ever here!; no english, no german, no Scandinavian, no Italian) but european (I wished to be english, in fact I look like one of them"sleaze white skinny boy") Where are those Lipstick leather

| Tease Teaser, love Injections,... But if you listen many times this swedish erotica you will find at the end decents"hidden" tracks "Loade gun", "she dreives me crazy" "Rip it off" which are more rockers. I love R'n'R more than anything in this fuckin damn non glam world even more than myself but this kind of stuff is soft & without passion 4 my R'n'R style or way of life. Not bad but too much too much overvalued The eyeliner aka glamcityrocks have spoken. See ya soon, bye . Heavy harmoniesok

| I'd call this more metal than sleaze/glam. It's got some sleazy elements but mainly it's straight up hard rock/metal ala 1989. Nice production, great guitar sounds with great vocals and big ass choruses. But if you're looking for sleaze you may think like "glamcityrocks" above, although hopefully with less words... Good stuff IMHO, I'd give it a 8/10.

| Yes, less words & more rock'n'roll from Swedish Erotica, all you say about the band is not bad but I have heard many people talkin' about this cd like a masterpiece and so when I found it and listened the world comes down. but is honest hard rock not driven sleazeglam trash punk that I was looking for! Swedish erotica 5/10. thanks

| it`s not so strange that swedish erotica is simmular to evenrude. i am not shore, but i think ole (jakob) evenrud, whitch is his real name, has prodused this album and written wild, woung and free.w,y &f is also releesed with norwegian lyricks by a band called brød & cirkus. also signed evenrude. he is now one of norways most famoust produsers and song wrigters, and a former judge in the norwegian idol.can anyone confirm any of this? (why isn't brød & cirkus on the list of bands?

Escuchar el "DownTown, Rock'n' Roll City, Loaded Gun" Lo mejor para mi de este impresionante trabajo pues esta totalmente reomendado amigos  80/100

| (Geoff said it nicely,) A great sleaze rock album from very promising band at the time. But is often the case, since they were from Europe, signed to European Virgin, Virgin USA did not feel they wanted to share possible profit with a European/other label division, so they opted to launch Roxx Gang instead. What a waste! Roxx Gang were good too, but this Swedish Erotica debut did well in EU with 3 great videos, and could have done well in US too. But OFTEN the US marketing will not be, or be poor, when European artists. Exception was Europe, who had a manager that signed them a solid deal (and took the money himself, but still TFC sold 6 millon copies) and Shotgun Messiah, who only had a tiny label in Sweden '88 and hence could re-mix, change name, and get a full promotion and (nearly) gold record with debut in '89 on Relativity. This Swedish Erotica debut CD is one of the very best in its genre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMzcOFEp_Wk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKCB1a-u0ZQ
