"Since this a two disc set, I'll divide my review into two sections:



W.A.S.P.:

This is a very strong start for the band. "I Wanna Be Somebody" is the first track and grabs you by the throat. Another great highlight is "School Daze." Anyone who spent time in a public school system can relate to it. "L.O.V.E. Machine"

is another great classic. It's very catchy. All the other songs are great, but don't seem to be much different lyrically from other 80's metal bands witht he exception of the last two tracks. "Tormentor" is catchy, but not really that good. "The Torture Never Stops" is a great closer.



The Last Command:

It's a great follow up. In fact, W.A.S.P. takes it up a notch with songs like "Ballcrusher" and "Sex Drive." You'll also find great ones like "Blind in Texas," "The Last Command,"

and "Running Wild In the Streets." Those three manage to catch the power and attitude of the band while at the same time remaing air play friendly.



Overall, it's really a good way to introduce yourself to W.A.S.P.

Go for it!"
