This is the band’s follow-up to their hugely entertaining debut, and was released back in ’83. Change was already afoot as original guitarist Ronnie Younkins was replaced by Brad Divens, and that energetic archaic approach was being smoothed out to a more corporate sound, which would pay dividends with the Blow My Fuse album.
The more basic AC/DC sound was becoming more prevalent with tracks like Love Pollution and Get Your Monkeys Out, which is fine, but tracks like Body Talk and Loco Emotion just fail miserably as they do not sound like the band at all and sounds more new wave. Thankfully there are redeeming tracks like Mighty Mouth, which is just kick ass rock n’ roll and more of what the band are all about. The last track Restless Blood feels more like the energy of the first album and is my favourite track.
7.5/10 from The Grooveman.
