Album number three and the band had totally grasped the American sound and were away and running with it. It’s really hard to believe listening to this that Eddie was a part of one of the nastiest kick ass rock bands ever (Motorhead) as the this album is so slick.
The album opens up with the single The World Waits For You and you feel as though it should have been either a lead off track from a movie or part of a soundtrack. I mean the songs are well written and recorded, and the big hook and chorus are king as every song has that sing a long feeling. When the rock does come along like in Move Over, the overpowering huge snare drum sound rains on your parade.
Rock On however, has that big huge seventies sound coupled with the big Def Leppard gang choru,s and its winner winner chicken dinner and we have my favourite tune. Close call is the title track which has a killer riff and groove and you can’t fail to sing a long.
Actually, this is a very entertaining record and worth grabbing a copy. You can see why Eddie felt restricted in Motorhead if he had all these songs waiting to go.
8.5/10 from The Grooveman.
