This is the band’s second and final album, released back in ’89. They don’t get the same amount of love as Loudness or Bow Wow, but I like them as the groove is a lot more hard rock than metal. They are different from the norm and this record has that LA vibe going on.
Love Junkie opens up the album with a very dirty riff and sleazy groove. Night Crawler is a straight up four to the floor groover with a simple but very effective riff. The title track is up next and starts with a killer sounding ascending riff and a slower pounding beat. Great tune! Wild Talk lives up to its name as the main riff has quite a wild groove going on and I love the middle section. Side 1 closes out with Burn Down The Night and sees the more melodic side of the band come to the fore.
Over to Side 2 with Black Moon, the fastest song on the album. Double kicks all the way and there is a definite punk vibe. Great groovy intro and vibe to Back To Zero. Channeling their inner Aerosmith with that killer riff, it’s my favourite track. Cold Blooded has a slower groove and I love the guitar sound. She’s Ridin’ The Rhythm sounds very similar to Victim Of Illusion by MSG. It’s party time next with Streetwalker. The main riff and groove are pure Sunset Strip. Last track is Million Miles Away, a track that could have graced any album by The Cult.
8/10 from The Grooveman.
