From time to time, i fire up my old cd player and play this album. It gets me up, it gives me strength to bare with this life. This is the most positive hard rock on this planet. Love songs, Rock songs, every song you'll ever need to hear is packed here, in this terrific album. 9/10 just because they did more later...

Volume and T&A--a metalhead's wet dream. --Jon Wiederhorn
