This was album number four for KIX and the one that really did the business in terms of sales and has been certified platinum. This is mainly due to the songs being much more radio friendly and bringing in outside writers to help give the band that elusive hit single, which they had with the ballad Don’t Close Your Eyes and No Ring Around Rosie.
Now, Rosie is a kick ass song and is more like early Kix and their first album, which is killer. Other highlights for me are Side 1 close out track She Dropped Me The Bomb, where they steal riffs straight out of Highway To Hell-period AC/DC, but who cares when the song is this good. In fact, the majority of the album is based around that whole AC\DC vibe with the added bonus of the hooks and choruses being pure party time rock n’ roll. My favourite track however is the final track on the record, Dirty Boys. The DC vibe is there for sure, but the tempo is high and rockin’ and this is how you close out an album.
8.5/10 from The Grooveman.
