4.0 out of 5 stars Kick Axe, January 23, 2001

TRUE METAL HEAD (Marion, Iowa USA) - See all my reviews

I have owned this recording since it first came out on vinyl and also purchased it on tape and have worn them both out though the years. This is nothing but 80's raw, bar sounding, head banging, lets go to a party music. It is a screaming guitar CD with that 80's screaming metal voice in the foreground. Don't pass this one up if your looking for the 'not so popular' 80's metal madness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Melodic Metal At It's Best!, December 30, 2002

By 

Shawn Johnston (Spokane, WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vices (Audio CD)

This debut album from Kick Axe showcases their melodic sensibilities, as well as their killer 4 part harmonies. The production work by Spencer Proffer (Quiet Riot, King Kobra) is state of the art, with the huge drum, guitar, & vocals. Check out "On the road to rock", & "Dreamin' about you" for examples of this. Of course "Heavy Metal Shuffle", & "Alive & Kickin'" are absolute, bonefide rock anthems that stand up with most anything from '80's metal land. This album is a must have for any fan of quality 80's metal that appreciates great song writing (Kick Axe also wrote songs for King Kobra, & W.A.S.P to name a few)guitar work, & kick-[butt] vocals.

5.0 out of 5 stars 80's Metal Classic Finally Released on CD, December 20, 2001

By 

KevinS (Dover, DE United States) - See all my reviews

This is one of my all time favorite releases from the 80s Hard Rock/Metal era. I have waited for this to be released on CD for years. It Rocks !!!! Kick Axe is one of the most under-rated bands of the era. You will not be disappointed. This is a must for any CD collection. If I was left on a desert island and could only have 5 CDs this would definately be one of them !!!! The vocals, the guitar, and other effects are blended into what is truly a Hard Rock classic.
