Released in March 1991, Beautiful Disaster is the debut album by the glam rock band Cheap and Nasty, formed by guitarist Nasty Suicide after the breakup of Hanoi Rocks. Moving away from standard sleaze rock, the 14-track record blends a melodic, power-pop sensibility reminiscent of Cheap Trick with a punchy, slightly gothic edge. Backed by a seasoned rhythm section featuring bassist Alvin Gibbs and drummer Les Riggs, the album showcases a crisp, driving sound that remains a cult classic for fans of late-era hair metal and classic rock.
