This isn't tight jeans, big hair, "coke off a stripper's ass" heavy metal. But it'll blow your mind in the same way without you really realizing quite what's happening. No, this is "walk softly and carry a big stick" heavy metal.

Not bad. Can't tell if I like the vocals or not though.

True...A big negative is the vocals

Awwww I love the vocals. Very special in adding to the barely perceptible fuzz vibe of the album.

Really nice stuff this. I find the vocals brilliant, they add a special identity to this album together with the weird fuzzy vibe on the production.

Good album, very enjoyable but... forgettable too.

Great classic 80s heavy metal style debut this, although quite short, and not quite as good as their following release imo. "Haunted Forever" and "Lost My Mind" stand out most for me.
