W.A.S.P. (Capitol) It would be fine, indeed, to report that W.A.S.P.—the debut album of W.A.S.P.—is strikingly original, both in concept and execution. To note, for example, that Blackie Lawless’s uncanny knack for an anthem (e.g., "I Wanna Be Somebody,” “School Daze” and—especially—“Hellion") is a sufficient reason to regard this band as heavyweight talents with a guaranteed future.
