Before Kix hit the big time with 1988's Blow My Fuse, their inital shot was this record released three years prior, which was every bit as enveloping, but for some reason, completely went under the radar. Produced by glam metal whisperer Beau Hill (producing Ratt's debut was his entry to the big leagues), all of the elements were in place for Kix to follow in their footsteps, but the album did not chart. The AC/DC-like stomp of the title track sets the tone, there is the prerequisite power ballad ("Walkin' Away"), and by and large the group has moved away from the bar room rock and New Wave which they flirted with on the previous album (1983's Cool Kids). However, despite the glut of impactful tunes, you get the feeling the band has not completely gelled. And Steve Whiteman's screaming mug on the cover surely had to switch a lot of people off, right? Still, it's a relatively fun ride.
