These guys were about five years too late, bringing their brand of big, bombastic hair rock to the stage just as the likes of Faith No More were wrapping rock around their little fingers. Steelheart is good if you like the leathery yet altogether soft-rock tones of pouting Whitesnake. Sure, the vocalist has a fair voice but you can tell what's coming in the song titles, 'Cant Stop Me Loving You', 'Like Never Before', and two of the most atrociously titled tracks ever in 'Everybody Loves Eileen' and 'Sheila'. Of course, after you succumb to the soft lovin' of Steelheart you'll realise that not everyone likes Steelheart...in fact, I don't really, but it's one of those records you may have bought by mistake but never took back but occasionally threw on whilst the light was dimming, candles were burning...and there was nothing else to do...of course, if you're one of those people, you really need to strengthen your record collection because Steelheart are probably rated one-billion in regards to essential listening, but hey, it's all metal.
5/10
