1.0 out of 5 stars Wicked Wonder-FAIL!, January 15, 2010

What a heap of garbage this turned out to be. A true waste of plastic.
There is not a memorable song on the entire CD. To make matters even worse,
Lita's husband, Jim Gillette, contributes embarrassingly laughable cookie-monster
vocals throughout the disc in a disastrous attempt to bring Lita into the current
nu-metal genre. A bad, bad idea, and a slap in the face to her fans of old.
Hey, Lita! Thanks for the coaster!

1.0 out of 5 stars Worse than one star, January 15, 2010

Time has not been good to Lita Ford. After more than 20 years out of the limelight -- that's 20 years she could have spent writing new songs -- she makes her comeback, not with a bang but with a lifeless fizzle. This album should only be for the diehards, the few fans she has left. Curious onlookers need not apply. Consider classic Lita for your introduction.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nitro Meets Nine Inch Nails with a bit of Lita on the side = ABYSMAL, October 21, 2009

If your favorite Lita Ford songs are among the following; "Gotta Let Go", "Back To The Cave", "Shot Of Poison", "Falling In & Out Of Love", "Hungry", "Close My Eyes Forever", "Kiss Me Deadly", "Only Women Bleed", Don't Let Me Down Tonight", "Under The Gun", and "Lisa" then you might as well set fire to your hard earned cash rather than spend it on this abomination. I understand that Lita has a family now, but that doesn't excuse her husband Jim Gillette's (formerly of speed/shred metal band Nitro) vocals being arguably more prominent than hers on HER album. He may have been able to shatter glass with his huge vocal range back in the late 80's, but his former band was a musical circus act that featured great technical ability on top of songs that displayed the sense of melody and lyrical sophistication one would expect to hear if a middle school kid had written them. This CD takes that sort of "musical" sense and combines it with a Nine Inch Nails sort of techno experimental vibe with only a little bit of the Lita of old to tease the fans hoping for something that could stand beside her late 80's/early 90's heyday. The lyrical content is overtly sexual banality of the sort one would expect to spring from the mind of a 12 year old boy who has spent entirely too much unsupervised time watching the likes of Vivid video or Girls Gone Wild and surfing endless internet porn. Now, I know Lita's lyrics often had a sexual tinge in the past, but were often witty, coy, and playful. The difference between then and now is like comparing Gypsy Rose Lee with her big feather arrays showing glimpses of skin to titillate as opposed to breaking out a speculum and performing a full pelvic exam on a typical streetwalking prostitute. Lita's previous CD "Black" was a bit of a disappointment as well with it's grungey sound, but at least it had a couple songs worthy of making my 80 minute CDR compilation of her best work. This CD has NOTHING that comes close to being her best work and really sounds like an experimental Jim Gillette project with Lita as a guest rather than her own solo CD. The record company should have refused to release this debauched mess of a CD and told her to try again by bringing in some outside writers to work with Lita and locking her husband out of the studio......
