I WANT BLACK
AND DON'T FADE AWAY
I WANT BLACK FOREVER
INSIDE OF ME
ALL I WANNA SEE
IS THE COLORS IN MY HEAD
Still Not Black Enough
is the sixth
studio album
by American
heavy metal band
first released
June 19th 1995
in Japan
and the UK.
It was not released
in the U.S.
until August 1996
through
Castle Records.
Still Not Black Enough
was originally slated
for release as a
Blackie Lawless
solo album,
but due to
the heavy content,
Lawless changed his mind
and decided to
release it as a
W.A.S.P. album.
This had also been
the case for
the previous album,
The Crimson Idol.
Still Not Black Enough
is considered somewhat
a successor to
The Crimson Idol,
bearing a strong resemblance
with its lyrical themes.
However,
instead of telling the story
of the fictional character
Jonathan,
this album is mostly a
collection of
personal songs from
Blackie Lawless,
including issues involving
the death of his mother
and personal crises
just after the world tour
for
The Crimson Idol
Background
Like the previous
studio album
The Crimson Idol
(1992),
this work functions largely
as a solo project by
Blackie Lawless,
and
Bob Kulick
again took part
in the recording.
The lyrics reflect
Lawless's personal struggles
at the time,
and he remarked that
"making the new album was
like a form of therapy."
The album was released in
Japan and Europe
in 1995,
and in 1996
an American CD edition
was issued
with some differences
in track listing
and song selection.
Of the tracks
added to the
American edition,
"Skinwater"
and
"One Tribe"
had previously been
released in the
United Kingdom
as B-sides
on the
1995 CD single
"Black Forever/Goodbye America"
