An early NWOBHM classic, with a lot of classics in it.

This kicks ass, I hear a lot of motorhead at times (minus vocals). Tracks like Freeway Mad, Machine Gun, and Street Fighting Gang are all some kick ass heavy metal driving fast down the highway kind of songs.

A classic album, song based on real events, classic rock n roll riff when you wanna drink beer and bang your head. Basically brilliant album whit attitude and iconic status today.
I don't get ppl call them self's metalheads, and don't like old Saxon , they are posers IMO.

Better than the debut in pretty much every way (even if there's no song here that can compete with Frozen Rainbow) but it's not consistant enough to be considered a classic album (as it many times are).

This is Sandinavian 101, for Gods sake get the ground lights on
