THIS was a HUGE disappointment after the excellent 'Animalize'. Very glossy pop with some lame lyrics. Especially on 'Secretly Cruel' and 'Any Way You Slice It'. "It was a HOT DAY, she wore LINGERIE and nothing else in between", or the extremely brilliant "Let me be your king BEE, I want your hornets nest?!". Please...Just pretty lame Gene songs that didn't make for good listening in 1985 and still dont.

Not to say there aren't some keepers. 'Who wants To Be Lonely' and 'Tears are Falling' were great Stanley penned pop/rock tracks with good hooks. 'Radar For Love' has a decent riff and tolerable chorus even though the title and lyrics are tacky.
'Loves a Deadly Weapon' is Genes best contribution and is the heaviest track. Good song. And 'Uh, All Night' is decent, even though its cheesy.

This CD isn't a total disaster like 'Unmasked' or 'Crazy Nights', but to be honest, Animalize was much much better.
