Hardly blessed with the most imaginative moniker; these guys were kinda hard done by due to lack of exposure in a clogged field of similar-sounding acts; but then again these guys weren't half bad at all. When I first heard this many moons ago I expected something rather lame and watery but was pleasantly surprised by the heavier, racier passages particularly on tracks such as 'Tonight Tonight' which dare I say it has a thrashy edge especially with the extra dose of shredding. Vocally Andrew Klein did struggle with the notes throughout but one could not argue with the chunky riffs of 'Time Will Tell' and the poppier 'Take It Or Leave It' - the band were a healthy mixture of sleaze and just good ol' fashioned hard rock spruced up by those weightier guitar clanks courtesy of magician Dave Scott. This is an album that grows with each listen and is one where the musicianship outshines the vocal performance; but the overall result is a positive one.
8/10
