This is probably the best glamrock album ever released. Very inspired by early Mötley Crüe though poppier and more catchy. If you are a rocker and are one album away from dying you should choose this album.

I would give this album 6 stars out of 5 if it was possible.
cheers;)

...in my memory than in actuality. Honestly, for some reason, I think the title track absolutely rocks -- in that crotch-grabbing way in which most good "sleaze/glam rock" always tends to. Otherwise, this collection of tunes blows overall (yeah, Toast of the Town is cool, but I still prefer Motley's version over the one found here), and I quickly re-discovered why PBF never elevated to the heights of success reached by similar lipstick and hairspray bands: because the songwriting was fairly weak, and simply sucked balls in comparison. PBF does look the part; so put on your leather pants, tease your hair to the sky, and do yourself (and everybody else) a favor and go slap on Vain's 'No Respect' instead...

Artist: Pretty Boy Floyd
Album: Leather Boyz With Electric Toyz
Year: 1989
Rating: 4-1/2 Stars
Review: Pretty Boy Floyd's stunning debut album that changed hair metal. Personally, this is one of my favorite albums ever, for various reasons. First up, the titled track "Leather Boyz With Electric Toyz" features roaring guitars, smashing drums, thundering bass, and Steve Summer's signature singing style give this song amazing energy, and intensity that still can't be matched. "I Wanna Be With You" the ballad on the album is very catchy, especially the chorus. It is a slight bit cheesey, but who cares, it's the 80's. "Rock N' Roll-Set the Night On Fire" was Pretty Boy Floyd's groundbreaking MTV video, which is insanely Glam-Hair Metal, earned the band a following from MTV airplay, and pretty much sums up most of the album. "Only The Young" is an electric-acoustic mix with very catchy vocals. It is not as heavy or "Glamish" as the rest of the album, but overall is a very good song. Other songs such as "48 Hours", "Wild Angels" and "Toast of the Town" are very good songs with classic Pretty Boy Floyd Style.[June 27, 2010]
P.S. if your buying the 2005 rerelease, the bonus tracks are no good. [...]
