Surprisingly weighty...well, at least fiery hard rock, boasting plenty of '80s styled melodies but a few driving, catchy numbers, favourites being the excellent title track, the feisty 'Bad Blood' and slightly more predictable 'High School Rock' aimed at rebellious teenagers everywhere! Even so, this is a nice, polished record with punchy vocals and a good, solid guitar sound which enable the album to rise above AOR mediocrity. It's also very hard to ignore the slam and clank of 'When the Walls Come Down' and the sleaze riff energy of 'Dirty Movies.' An absolutely cracking album cover which would have sent many a teenage metal-head crazy with excitement, and thankfully the music packed within is just as steamy.
7.5/10
