Edited 2 years agoAside from their image...and I am not talking about clothing music or sound...they had a pretty crazy live show for the early 80s...this band wrote some really good heavy metal ...nowadays this would be hard rock...but I digress. I used to play this album constantly---thanks to tdk sa90 tapes the vinyl is still good. Highlights: I want to be somebody/LOVE Machine/The Flame/School Daze/Sleeping in the fire/The torture never stops/ IMO one of the best freshman album releases of the genre. Be aware. My first pressing does not have a 6 page inner sheet...IMO this is from a later early release. Be diligent when looking for this album.
