5.0 out of 5 stars Where the 90's should've gone, June 19, 2007

By

Infectious grooves, crazy arrangements, monstrous vocal production on par with anything Queen, Queensryche, Def Lep, or Winger ever pulled off, and some sterling rhythem work from a band that should've lead us all into a happier 90's with more creative blending of art-rock, funk, metal, progressive influences. Instead, we got a bunch of gimps from Seattle that never learned to bathe, let alone to play their guitars or sing.

When this album came out, my band was doing our thing in Austin rehearsing and recording demos, and we were all heartbroken this album didn't take off, and even more disappointed never to hear from these cats again. In my view it's a damn crime they didn't do another album like this one.

This is a one of a kind if you're into metal and don't expect galloping triplet Iron Maiden riffs or chunking metal head bar chord riffs.

Take it from a guitarist, this album just stone cold rocks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cool Album!, November 18, 2004

I would have never checked this album out if it weren't for Martin Popoff's book on Heavy Metal. This album is an unknown gem. The production is great and most of the songs have cool grooves and good vocals. I dig Backdoor Romeo (great lyrics), You and Your Friend (should have been huge), Bad Girls and Angels (cool vocals), Fire It Up (great chorus), and Bone Down. Despite the fact that Jeff Tyson was a student of Joe Satriani he does not overplay. Instead he focuses on the songs and plays some great rhythm guitar. Whether you like rock, funk, or dance music this is one of those albums that I think many people can get into. Four and a half stars! Check it out if you can find it!

4.0 out of 5 stars These guys got no respect, November 27, 2010

When I saw this album in the 2 for 99 cents used CD bin in the mid 90's I took a chance and bought it. I found out, to my great surprise, that it was worth much more than the record store was charging. Blazing guitars, screaming vocals, whomping beats and fantastic harmonies hit my ears like a two-ton anvil. This was a band that did not get a decent break and faded away into oblivion. With songs like my favorites "Hit Squad", "Heroes & Villains" and my very favorite "Bone Down" these guys should have stuck around much longer than they did. They deserved to.
