Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Influenced by New York punk bands like the Ramones and Dictators, as well as by traditional heavy metal ensembles, Twisted Sister created brash, simple songs that buzzed with subversive energy, giving the band the appeal of bad-boy cartoon characters. Their third album, Stay Hungry, featured the classic rebel anthem "We're Not Gonna Take It" as well as more uptempo tracks like "Burn in Hell" and "S.M.F." (which, in true metal fashion, stands for "Sick Motherfucker"). No one disputes Twisted Sister's competence level. Simply put, they couldn't play well enough to save their five-year recording career, but frontman Dee Snider's outrageous stage presence and accidentally hilarious lyrics ensured that their time in the limelight was thoroughly entertaining. --Jon Wiederhorn

5.0 out of 5 stars Twisted Sister's Best Album, March 7, 1999
By A Customer
Stay Hungry is pretty much the best Heavy Metal album of 1984. You have your room shaking heavy crunchers like "Burn in Hell" and "S.M.F.", you have your catchy rockers like "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock", your fast paced "Stay Hungry", and your 2 1/2 minute ballad "The Price." All that, and you still have four other great tracks.

Some people will tell you Heavy Metal is stupid. Some people will tell you Twisted Sister is stupid. Well, some PEOPLE are stupid. They don't understand it; so don't let them get you down. Just crank it up and make 'em deaf.

"Stay Hungry" is a great album and should be in any Metalhead's collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest rock album in the history of the universe....., June 20, 1999
By A Customer
I defy anyone to name a better group than Twisted Sister. They defined youth rebellion, angst, and tortured lives well in advance of all these fools today. Dee Snider was brilliant and always ready with the Shakespeare-worthy lyrics about the difficulty of life in these United States. If I could, I'd give it a million stars. Brilliance I say, brilliance!

5.0 out of 5 stars Candy Bar Music, November 13, 1999
By Tom Pinti (Niles,OH) - See all my reviews
To me, listening to TS's Stay Hungry is similar to eating that midday Snickers,low on substance and completely unnecessary. Yet, somehow it's 100% self-satisfying!
