The opening ‘Restless’ could be an Accept outtake, a lively thumper, but that’s the only such comparison. Most of the lyrical stance surrounds women (the pursuit, complaints over and conquest for) and a few times comes off as lowest common denominator 80s Sunset Strip strut (‘Speak Up’, cowbell laden ‘Rockstar’, the squawk box Warrant reject ‘Right Between The Eyes’). The gritty, whiskey-soaked voiced ‘No Return’ strikes the proper balance, almost a Kiss vibe. ‘Go To Hell’ temporarily revives the Autobahn velocity, punctuated by plenty of F-bombs. Inexplicably, they’ve decided to end with a cover of the Pointer Sisters’ ‘I’m So Excited’. This is the second time (?) Frank opted for said track, using it for his Poison Sun debut (Virtual Sin), just last year!
Can’t say I share his enthusiasm and I just can’t hide it.
