Strong, memorable songs, stellar axework and terrific, leathery vocals result in a powerful release you should have no qualms about checking out if, like me, you`re on a quest to discover underrated 80s metal albums. For reference points look to Savatage and Wasp (check out `On Your Feet` and tell me this isn`t the band`s answer to `On Your Knees`!), with the occasional dunderheadedness on tracks like `Rocked Outta Love` and `Fallin For You` letting the side down (again think Wasp :). To say Shok Paris are immune to filler would be a lie, but this is the exception rather than the rule and the album`s killer tracks are many and so impressive, these transgressions can be forgiven and avoided with swift employment of the skip button.
NOTE: `On Your Feet` appears on action/horror film `The Hidden` starring Kyle MacLachlan.
