Hehehe, I'll thank alcohol for that comment

LET IT ROCK - The first sound of the album is a distorted guitar, laying the foundation for Dave's "Pink Flamingoes" keyboard solo: essentially a shorter, more melodic version of Eddie Van Halen's Eruption, played on what sounds like an electric organ; it's a strange but electrifying way to open the album. Then, with the guitar surging to the forefront, the song proper begins, and instantly it becomes apparent quite how mammoth it sounds: finally proper recording of vocals, with both Jon and the backing vocals sounding bigger and fuller than ever before; a guitar style that seems to mix the Randy Rhoads or Van Halen style tone and techniques of the first album with the AC/DC groove of the second; and synths which for the most part seek to add depth and compliment guitar lines rather than play a lead role. With a more laid back style, "whoah-oh-oh" backing vocal hook, a simple chorus which proudly shows that the band are now actually capable of doing proper lead and backing vocal duels, lyrics which tell of a number of characters desire just to rock, and Richie pulling out a dazzling virtuoso guitar performance throughout; this song may not be particularly clever, but it certainly is big, and a great introduction to the band's new sound.

4/5
