  When you go back to this record now, you can hear the germs of inspiration that would result in arguably one of the great concept albums of all time, Operation Mindcrime. There are no hits; it's more progressive than their debut, yet at the same time there are hair metal elements that might have been the result of record company pressure. It feels like an album that didn't know what it wanted to be when it grew up, as the band was still figuring out how to merge their metal and progressive interests.

  They would figure it out a couple of years later.
