1989's Boys In Heat is the second album from Philly-based hair metallers Britny Fox. I was crazy about their self-titled debut album when I was a freshman in high school, but was underwhelmed by this one.

Boys In Heat is a solid enough album, but it's probably my least favorite of the band's first three releases. It has some good songs, but there is also a fair amount of filler. ''Standing in the Shadows'' and ''Angel in My Heart'' are pretty catchy singles reminiscent of ''Long Way To Love'', and ''Dream On'' is the rare ballad that manages to avoid sounding like Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn". The cover of Nazareth's ''Hair Of The Dog'' was a nice touch, but given how much their sound relies on AC/DC you wonder why they didn't just cover "Back In Black" and get it over with. Aside from those four songs, the album starts to fall apart a bit. It maintains a steady rocking pace, but the songs start to blend together after a while.
