Side A:
- UNCLE SIRUS - Midnight Rendezvous
Uppety Hard Rock boosted by raw vocals and guitars. - MAD AVENUE - Bad Girl
Kiss-fans by the sound of it. Not crap, though hardly Metal either. - CHATEAUX - Young Blood
Really heavy & hammering olde Metal that works great w/ the aucustic parts. The older the Chateaux the better. - MÁDÄME GUILLOTINE - Machine Run
A healthy dose of fast, aggressive, prime-era NWOBHM. Nothing revolutinary but still top-class. - OMUN - Chosen One
Shameless "Princess Of The Night"-ripoff on that lead riff and way too repetitive at that. - MENACE - Hard Way
Some nice riffing & guitarwork, but overall they play in the NWOBHM mid-league.
Side B:
- TRÖJAN - Premonition
Fast'n'mean, screaming Metalrock. Few similarities to their later, ecellent "Riding The Storm" LP I'm afraid. - FALLEN ANGEL - The Man
Trivial melodic Hard Rock/nwobhm. - MIRAJ - Trapped
Same as above, but with improved musicianship. - ANGEL UNDERGROUND - New Life
More melodic Hard Rock, here with a pop-punk influence (which is many times better than an aor-influence I guess..) - CRY WOLF - Behind The Smile
Atonal vocals on top of stock HR/HM riffing. - STRANGER - Call Of The Wild
Sounds more like some young, mid-Euro demo act than anything British. Dead-simple but fun & catchy HR. - EMERALD - Deb
Nice melodic vocals to somewhat punky, melancholic Hard Rock.
