This album is just stopped from being a total classic, by 2 or 3 mundane tracks round about the half way point. The first three songs are classic though, and songs like ''Hellion'' and ''The Torture Never Stops" were far more menacing than anything fellow glam bands were putting out. Not quite as classic or as consistent as some of their later albums, but it's definitely a mostly great debut.

I fucking love how, so far, the only band that can write lyrics on almost every subject without them sounding cheesy at all, perfect example being the BRILLIANT first two tracks. also, instrumentation is absolutely brilliant, glorious 80s metal.

Such a great album to kickstart the career of one of the best heavy metal bands ever, the band's self-titled debut starts off aggressively and disturbingly enough with 'Animal...' and never lets up for the next 40 odd minutes with its power and metallic madness. 'Sleeping in the fire' offers melody, but even then it gives you the feeling that it will explode at some point, and sure enough it does, with one of the album's highlighted solos. Definitely my favourite WASP album, if only because it shows them as a promising young band that wouldn't stop being successful to this day.

Are you kidding? Blackie's voice just kills it on that song, and that solo is sweet.

The solo can be good, but his voice just kills the rest of the song.

I was also saying that stating that the WASP cover is better than the original was just laughable.

Sleeping In The Fire is the great song, other than that the album is average. The Last Command and Headless Children kick ass...

That's why I don't label WASP as glam. Several of their songs are more menacing, heavier, more aggressive than anything glam bands like Motley Crue, Poison, Cinderella, etc ever pulled out. WASP had the glam look in the 80s but their music was more metal than any glam band. To tell it true, I don't consider any glam band as metal but I would label WASP as metal.
Also, I dislike glam as a whole, while I like many WASP songs.

Fantastic debut album, probably their best one. Every song is a hit, especially "I Wanna Be Somebody and "On Your Knees".

Although WASP were lumped in with all the other bands in the LA glam scene of the 80's, they were always an anamoly within that scene. Their look, combined with the fact that some of their songs were more in a hard rock vein, ensured that they were slapped with the "glam" label. However, some of their music was also clearly metal, and much harsher than the other glam bands within the scene. To me, WASP were always a metal band with glam elements, as opposed to being the other way around. Although "Inside The Electric Circus" is to all intents and purposes, a glam album (and incidentally, easily the worst of their 80's albums). It is also true, that none of the glam bands were actually metal at all, whilst WASP most definitely were. So whilst W.A.S.P. were labelled as an LA glam band at the time, I think that classification was misleading, and mostly a falsehood.

All I can say is I agree on everything.

One of the best Heavy metal Albums of all time and the best metal Album of 1984, IMO.
