Loudness - Jealousy/Slap in the Face

An anomaly in the Loudness catalog, Jealousy is a six-song EP that finds the group unfocused and at the crossroads of their career. The song styles are diverse but wildly erratic when compared to the hard-driving discography Loudness had established up to this point. The guitar acrobatics of Akira Takasaki are still in good form, but that's about the only constant found within. Wounded Bird reissued this EP in 2005 with the single for "Slap in the Face," which featured live versions of "Down N' Dirty," "Playin' Games" and "Find a Way." ~ Rob Theakston, All Music Guide
