This opus is a compilation featuring a mix of live and studio recordings from this cult U.S. metal act who disbanded back in the '80s. Although generic in places, this compilation is still a solid offering showing the talents of this rather obscure swashbuckling metal force who really come alive with the thrashin' mayhem of 'The Kids Are Gonna Fight' which has a NWOBHM feel combined with that old, greasy Metallica feel circa 'Kill Em All.' Not the greatest vocalist of all time, this has a loose feel at times but it's still a rollicking listen with the title track and 'We Rule The Night' being the sort of anthem that should stick in the ears for many moons to come. If you like your metal distinctly '80s then you can't go wrong with this slab.
7/10
