  Produced by Gene Simmons and featuring 3 songs that were Kiss leftovers and a Patti Smith cover, this was generic mid-80s metal. Gene Simmons produced this and the previous Keel record, but even that wasn't enough to propel them to stardom. When Simmons moved on to other interests after this record, the dream was mostly dead for Keel. I'm sure we blasted this album back in the day. We were mullet-headed teens, after all. But listening i 2026 just makes all its shortcomings stand out.
