Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a monumental turning point in their career, the iconic rock band officially removed their trademark makeup for the release of this album. The strategic unmasking, coupled with a heavier, contemporary glam-metal sound led by Vinnie Vincent's shredding guitar work, successfully revitalized their stalling commercial momentum. The MTV-friendly title track became one of their biggest hits of the decade.
