  I’m a little conflicted by this. On the one hand, they are a Sheffield band with a proper rags to riches story but on the other hand this is very much transitional album between their heavy roots and their monster pop metal sound of the late 80s. I was quite surprised by just how much they sounded like AC/DC in places here and there’s not much that really stands out, except for Die Hard the Hunter which includes air raid sirens, helicopters and gun sounds.

  My Favorite Albums

  Eric Gregorich

  Pyromania was my first album I ever owned as a kid. I remember going to the store to buy a new Walkman and the Hysteria album because Pour Some Sugar on Me was a big deal at the time. The Hysteria album wasn't available at the store, so I got Pyromania instead, which I never heard of. I'm so glad I did. It's one of my favorites to this day.
