"This album is one of the lesser-know musical accomplishments of the 1980s. I agree with those before me -- this album (and "Mean Streak," which followed) are, in my opinion, the bands best album(s), but I'm also fond of several cuts from their other A&M studio albums -- "Earthshaker," "In Rock We Trust" and "Down For The Count."
"Black Tiger," though, shows an exuberant, powerful rock that is melodic as well. No slashing though chords, no half-baked attempts at solos, no incoherant additional noises -- just a superb rock experience. "From The Moon" and "Open Fire" are a classic lead-off, the title track has to be one of their best rockers, "Barroom Boogie" is a Y&T live standby but is nonetheless great in studio, and "Forever" and "Winds Of Change" close out each side of the album versions to near perfection.
Fans of 80's Metal should have embraced this band years ago. A $33 price tag doesn't help, although that's no fault of Amazon.com or the band -- imports are generally this costly, especially for a band whose American releases have bee discontinued. Hopefully, the Y&T catalog will be re-released in the U.S. and everyone will get a chance to realized just what they are missing."
