Title: Loud, noisy and poorly produced
Product review: I have changed my opinion a bit about this album, because it's actually not a nightmare. I totally agree `tho with Mike Acquisto about the technical criticism, and I think the album have more than a touch of a frantic feeling. "Woke up with a monster" sounds loud and noisy for some reason but I guess that's the way producer Templeman wanted it. Underneath the surface, there are in fact some really good songs buried, but since they chose to go at full speed from the beginning there's no way to put in overdrive when it comes to the choruses, and I guess this doesn't benefit the songs at all. Among the better tunes are the opening rocker "My gang" and the melody driven "Didn't know I had it". Some might consider Cheap trick being the American answer to Slade, both regarding the musical direction as well as the humorous side, but if you gotta chose - go for Slade!
