An album that was meant to be released after 'Organized Crime' but eventually dropped down due to musical climate change. This album was eventually out in 2001 but sounds unfinished and unpolished, mainly because it's only demos, but Treat fans were pleased to see lots of great tracks finally came to the surface, such as 'You Won't See Me Cryin' and the ballad, 'Waiting To Get Even'. Don't be afraid to see that it's a 2001 releases because these songs were done in the 80s and none of them are modern-influenced, but as you probably know, Treat never sold out to any other genres than the classic MHR.

The next five tracks are a bit so-so, good but weren't up the Treat standard, could be the reasons why those haven't made to their prior 80s albums. 'Streets Cry Freedom' has nice vocal touch while 'Once In A Lunchtime', a funny title with neat riffs. The last three tracks, on the other hand, are a goody. 'Money' started to shine on bridge before exploding big on the great chorus. 'Every Muscle In Motion' is huge from the start and the live version of 'Rev It Up' is clearly a rare gem to have.

Production here is relatively poor but that's expected from old demos. If you don't have an issue with that and also a big Treat fans, this is a must, but this ain't a great start to new fans. Look for 'The Pleasure Principle', 'Dreamhunter', or jumped directly to 'Coup de Grace' to begin. Anyway, good album to have and 75% is warranted.
