Album Notes & Community Reviews

Concluding a legendary run of platinum-selling studio releases for the decade, 'State of Shock' delivers a relentless barrage of blues-based hard rock riffs. The production captures the raw, deafening energy of Nugent's legendary live performances, anchored by his frantic, gonzo guitar solos. It successfully catered to a massive arena-rock audience hungry for high-decibel, unapologetic midwestern boogie.
