This is one of those bands that everybody else seems to know about but somehow I missed. Well, I finally got to listen to this album and have to say that I haven't really been missing out on much. If this came out in 1976 this would be ok but this is simply the ripping off of the music of AC/DC with a little Guns N Roses added in the music department, while the vocals remind me of Jack Black in Tenacious D mode at times while the majority of the album reminds me of Eric Bazilian of the Hooters. The songs are ok but gosh I just can't get into this at all. Seems like this was directed towards a younger audience who had never heard the influences they were imitating. The songs aren't particularly interesting and well nothing sticks on this album for me. Gosh, I think i'm actually hearing The Cure in here as well. I like fusion but this just isn't doing it for me. Permission denied. Go back to your planet.

I like the closing one-liner. It´s not too cruel and display great humour. I like that...:-)

they're a band pretty much made just for nostalgic reasons and for alot of fun. i recommend giving their second album a chance, because it's a very different affair
