Rather oddly, this is my favourite TS album, despite it's commercial appeal and heavy metal cliche's.Dee and company, shedding the theatrical skin as such, opt for a more radio friendly flavour, casting aside the horror dynamics of tracks in the past such as 'Captain Howdy', instead concentrating on shining glam stompers, 'Hot Love', 'I'm So Hot For You' and the title cut prime examples of this kind of lollipop rock, and in 'Tonight' and 'You Are All That I Need' we get the TS power ballad treatment, and for some reason, I like it, and would certainly rather a dose of this than sickly Kiss.
Twisted Sister broke no boundaries but for good time metal, and there was much around in the '80s, this is still worth paying a few quid out for, even if what you get in return is more of a sugary tongue.
7/10
