5.0 out of 5 stars This album is a rock n roll masterpiece!, December 25, 1998

If you like high energy hard rock, you will never regret ordering this album, the first major label release of Hanoi Rocks' short but absolutely brilliant career. This album launched the U.S. promotional work for the band, but then the drummer was killed in a car wreck and Hanoi said goodbye, poised on the brink of international stardom, having already made a huge impression in Europe. This album has a range of great rock songs, all presented in that savvy, over the top manner that Hanoi Rocks specialized in. Hanoi was not a band so much as they were a way of life. This album gives you a clue into their unique energy and perspective. Songs like "I Can't Get It" and "Underwater World," the latter of which was a direct inspiration for Guns n Roses "Welcome to the Jungle," are unforgettable. Hanoi is hard rock with a sexually free, street-tough, melodic, punk-informed sensibility. There's no other band like them and will never be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sign of tragedy, May 23, 2003

THis is the very first US released Album for Finnish great band "Hanoi Rocks". I remember when I bought this Album back in my high school days. I was really a Hanoi mania at that time, playing their songs,had a long hair and wore dressy cloth, and bought all their stuff as long as those are availale in Japan.
Back in late 80s, they are very successful in England and other Europe countries. They are about to be big in states.
As you might have known, there are series of Hanoi Rocks songs titeld "Malibu beach nightmare", "Tragedy" and Dead by "CHristmas". They had really wild rockn'roll tour in States, toured with Motley crue. ANd it is not necessary to notice that their life also was very wild, I mean ROck'n'roll life.
One day, I was watching music program on TV, the caster said that the drummer of Hanoi Rocks died of car accident. I never knew about that and I felt sorry, I was in deep grief to hear that news. Like, their nightmare came true.
THis particular album reminds me of the news of the accident.
The band keep on playing after the death of the drummer, but no one could be the drummer of hanoi rocks, and the band stopped playing.
Since ever, I had no chance to see their live perfermances.
In 1997 I went to Los Angels and went to Malibu beach where the drummer said to be dead by the beach. In 2000, i went to NY where they played really great shows.
And in 2002, I experienced the real Hanoi rocks show in Japan. Michael and Andy playing togather, that was my teenage dream come true.
They are the real rock'n'roller and real musician after the silence over the decades.
And this album still remains as the sign of death of the drummer
for me.

thanks

5.0 out of 5 stars This is what Rock'N'Roll should sound like ..., March 17, 2000

This is one hell of a piece of music. Songs are great. Sound is great. The whole concept is just what good old Rock'N'Roll was ment to be. They don't make albums like this anymore, but fortunately we have this one.
