This is the third and final Hawaii album to feature one Marty Friedman on guitar, before he would leave and form the legendary Cacophony with Jason Becker. There is not a whole lot on here that would give you a clue as to what Marty would do next. Sure, there are some great leads he flies off but this is just straight up, basic, heavy metal sounding like Keel and Kiss at times.
It’s okay and no new ground is being broken, but you can see that this band had run its course. In fact, my favourite song is Unfinished Business which could be a Keel song. It’s just a straight up and down hard rocker with a decent hook and chorus.
Strangely this sells for way more than it should and I guess it’s down to Marty being on it.
6.5/10 from The Grooveman.
