First things first, the songs on this album are killer. There really is'nt a bad song in the bunch, however, with only 7 actual songs, this brings the rating down a notch. Truth be told, there are 9 tracks on the disc, but one is an instrumental, and another is an acoustic version of Soldier Of Love. This does make the price a little steep, but the seven other songs are all great.

This band owes alot to Def Leppard, they almost seem like clones they're that good. I can't help but think, these guys are what should be on MTV, not the stuff that's blasted 24/7, but we all know that will never happen. Wildstreet should write, record, and release a whole album of like 11 or 12 songs to get their music out there more readily. I read they're currently recording a follow-up, if that's true or not, I don't know.

If you are like me, and you love hard rock from the 80's and early 90's, I would reccommend this band highly. The one sticking point, like I mentioned earlier was that the record is a little pricey, but if paying 16 $ for 8 songs does'nt bother you, have at it.

If the recent releases from Def Leppard have left you high n' dry, then here's the band for you. Wildstreet is loaded with layers of huge, backing vocals and that big arena-rock thunder of Def Leppard's best work. "Wanna Get It On" is a late 80s in-your-face, foot-stomper with big "hey!!" gang vocals that remind me of Winger's "Can't Get Enuff", Y&T's "Contagious" etc. With more "Whoa-oas" than a Keanu Reeves movie marathon, the huge production is what seals the deal here. Wildstreet is definitely one of the hard rock highlights of 2009... no fan of second album Baton Rouge, XL, Loud & Clear, BB Steal, Loudlion and, yes, DEF LEPPARD, should miss this killer Retrospect release!
