Nowadays Twisted Sister are mostly thought as champions of commercial MTV-metal, but that is a rather one-sided view. From 1976 to 1982, the band had been part of the New York glam scene but with no record deal in sight the band moved to the UK to sign with Secret Records. Releasing "Under the Blade" in September, 1982 in the midst of the NWOBHM movement, Twisted Sister were very briefly among the heaviest bands around and therefore, despite lack of common acknowledgment, unquestionably influential.

Awesome album, dirtier and less polished than their later more well-known records, but that only adds the charm. Too bad this one was released through some unknown indie label, so even the reissued copies are relatively hard to find and expensive for an iconic band like Twisted Sister.

Lots of classics songs here, great album. I love the attitude.. Oh, are we irritating, oh, are we grating on your nerves?
