The Hair Metal Thread.

Any band that starts with the THX 'theme' can't go wrong in my books :)

A great riffing, commercial/hair rock album from an underrated band who got the break at the wrong time for the style.

Watching this week's episode of The Goldbergs, and a classic piece of 80's AOR popped up in the soundtrack, so I just had to put the album on tonight.

The track was The Touch:

It really is a toss up between this and Wings of Tomorrow for my favourite Europe albums. This was a nice departure from TFC & OOTW purely as there was more guitar work and better writing; a shame John Norum wasn't still around. this just came out at the wrong time for a band like this, but still has a great feeling to it. Oh, and Wings is still my true favourite purely for Scream of Anger!

Man, this is such a mix of music styles, but it's more rock than pop!

It's a cheesy movie, but a real easy watch with a great soundtrack, with the likes of Ozzy, Stan Bush & Lion.

I LOVE this debut release! A couple of great opening tracks, and a great riff on the title track. Side 2 opens with another great track.
