Editorial Reviews

Wild In The Streets was the band's fourth, and final, album for Capitol. It was a record of familiar components; big hooks, teeth rattling drum 'n' bass, razor sharp guitar riffs and shredding solos all locked into a brace of tunes so catchy they would easily shame the likes of Kiss and Def Leppard. Special Limited Deluxe Collector's Edition / Fully remastered sound shaped from 24 BIT digital tech-nology / Produced by Mike Stone (Whitesnake) & Neil Kernon (Queensryche) / 12 page full colour booklet -- 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork, memorabilia and rare photos --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helix at their best!!!, September 26, 2004

This is the pinnacle of Helix's power. The album smokes from beginning to end! Even the ballad, Dream on rocks. I think what makes this record stand apart from their earlier gems is the production values. Mike Stone really did a good job here. Brian Vollmar sounds as ferocious as ever and songs sound clearer and crisper. Highlights include title track, Wild in the streets,shot full of love, High voltage kicks, She's too tough(covered by Def Leppard later), Kiss it goodbye(your ass) and my personal fav, love hungry eyes! 1987 was a good year for me overall and this record certainly helped. Buy this if you like good, solid in your face 80's metal. Also, these guys were talented musicians who could really play. I kinda lost track of them after this and Paul Hackman's death. Get it and you'll like it!!Cheers....

4.0 out of 5 stars Helix - 'Wild In The Streets' (EMI) 4 1/2 stars, May 16, 2006

Originally released in 1987,as 'Wild...' was Helix's seventh record.One of the few Canadian bands I'd fully support anymore.I know,for a fact they still exist.Just all around good old school heavy rock(call it metal if you like).Most impressive tracks are the title cut "Wild In The Streets",their anthem(?)"Never Gonna Stop The Rock",their Nazareth cover,ballad "Dream On","Give 'Em Hell","High Voltage Kicks" and "Love Hungry Eyes".Would likely appeal to fans of AC/DC,The Cult,Kick Axe,Killer Dwarfs and Twisted Sister.Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars What an excellant CD, April 10, 2002

I remember listening to this on casette back in 1987 and having to end up buying it on cd as I basically destroyed the casette by listening to it too much. The opening track of WILD IN THE STREETS to the end track of KISS IT GOODBYE are great tracks. A song off of the album WHAT YA BRINGIN' TO THE PARTY is such a great track. SHE'S TO TOUGH IS A GREAT SONG which I honestly prefer over the DEF LEPPARD version. I thing that DREAM ON is a great ballad track for the album. This cd is all in all a great ROCK/HEAVY METAL album. A fan of HELIX must possess this cd.
