Hot Wire 1991 Album

Kix

This is arguably a better, more consistent record than the bigger-selling Blow My Fuse, but whatever reason it turned out to be Kix's final fleeting shot at commercial glory. Too bad. Not sure if you can blame the ascent of grunge for this, but in retrospect, the two albums are carbon copies of each other - right down to power ballads in the fourth track position ("Tear Down These Walls"), and the continuing theme of "Cold" songs (here it's "Cold Chills"). Yet another terribly unoriginal and thoroughly entertaining record.
