Come Out And Play 1985 Album

Twisted Sister

The early 80's saw an alarming growth in the "here today - gone tomorrow" rule as it applied to the music business, and it was applied - from all angles - to Twisted Sister in late 1985. Their follow-up to 1984's MTV hit Stay Hungry was supposed to consolidate them as mega-stars, but instead, it dropped them far down the ladder to mid-card status. A few listens to Come Out And Play explains why: Snider's presence here is more exasperating than usual, while the band is out to lunch. The most notable track here is a dumb-rock cover of "Leader of the Pack".
