4.0 out of 5 stars Good tracks overshadowed by a few campy ones!, September 17, 2002

This album was the follow up to the smash "Stay Hungry" and unfortunately the campy songs like "Leader of the Pack" and "Be Cruel to your School" overshadowed some of the really good ones like "Kill or Be Killed", "I Believe in You", and "King of the Fools". This album was a commercial bomb at the time it was released and was the death knell for Twisted Sister which was a shame.

All in all, I'd say that I enjoyed this album, but not as much as the other Twisted Sister releases and I'm glad to be able to buy it in CD.

If you are sick of the 90's death growl and (c)rap metal that just won't go away and want to hear some solid metal with real singing, check out this album, just skip over the cover tunes!

3.0 out of 5 stars In Hindsight......, November 25, 2000

This album will probably forever be known as the one that killed Twisted Sister's career. Looking back, it's not hard to see why fans furiously rejected it. Before this album, Dee and the band seemed rather adept at mixing menace with just enough campiness to make things fun. On this particular album, however, they went over the top and (especially on the ill-advised cover of "Leader Of The Pack") overdosed on goofy humor. A shame, because they got their best and toughest production job yet from Dieter Dierks, who's armor-plated work with The Scorpions and Accept won him much acclain. Listening to this CD again after so many years, tunes like "Come Out And Play," "You Want What We Got" and "Kill Or Be Killed" stand up as fun anthems and some of the group's best. ..., even "Be Cruel To Your Skewl" elicits some memorable chuckles.

One of those CDs that didn't seem like much at the time, but kinda grows on you years later.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real Rockin' Sound Scape, May 30, 2000

This album was a densely layered, intricate, album of some of Twisted's most haunting music.

Dee's vocals resonated, the guitars took turns adding layers of sound, and the bass and guitars pounded away.

This was an album to keep your attention...especially "King of the Fools."

"Leader of the Pack" will make you laugh if you remember the 50s original...just the change from the high pitched feminine voices to low masculine voices...it's a gut splitter.
