This is a repress of the band’s first album that originally reared its ugly head in ’87. It’s also featuring original vocalist, Tiger. They hadn’t quite mastered their groove at this point, that would come with the next record.
Still, there are quite a few fun tunes to grab your ears around. My favourite of those is Hit And Run, a full on uptempo rocker with double kicks and max riffage. Girls Girls Nasty Nasty is a tune more aligned with what they are famous for and was released as a single, it has one of those stuck in the head sing a longs. Too Wild To Be Innocent is another fun tune with a great riff. Dyin’ To Live has a great riff and guitar sound, it reminds me of early Def Leppard.
However, there are some bad moments. Of which, Warchild is the worst. The song is pretty basic but the vocals are just awful, and you can see why he was replaced before the next record.
Just stick with Screwed Blued And Tattooed, it’s their finest hour.
7/10 from The Grooveman.
