While I can enjoy a good, innovative, boundary pushing album as much as the next guy, I can also enjoy an album that's a shameless throwback, and that's where Midnight thrives. It's a cornucopia of sex, blood, and rock n' roll that owes more than a little bit to Venom, Motorhead, and Tom G Warrior, but even for an album so heavily entrenched in the '80s, "Satanic Royalty" still manages to sound fresh and exciting today.
