Great to see this brilliant hardrock CD from Ted ! WOW ! It still sounds pretty fresh after all these years ! A song like 'Stranglehold' is timeless ! His best, and that means a lot !

From: Gar	Date: December 15, 2003 at 15:27
There are some true classics on this to be sure, but for me it doesn't get any better than "Queen of the Forest". Awesome song!

From: Scott	Date: February 10, 2004 at 14:16
Amazing album! One of the finest heavy rock platters ever recorded! Ted rules! Do youself a favor and invest in the remastered version. The bonus tracks alone are worth the investment, but the improved sound quality is also nice as well.

stranglehold is f%^&$Ng long

From: Rockhead	Date: July 19, 2004 at 12:48
Agree with Freaky and Gar-Stranglehold and Queen of the Forest are my 2 favourite tracks on this album. A classic!!

From: Propane	Date: November 30, 2004 at 19:23
That's what I'm talking about! Uncle Ted at his finest! Too bad he had issues with Derek, because the vocals were great on this one.

Stranglehold is incredible, its worth getting this just for that alone!

From: sabace	Date: April 2, 2011 at 10:39
one of the greatest debut lp's ever . Hard rock classic from a superb band !

From: Doug	Date: April 4, 2011 at 16:51
Would agree. Songs 1-6 are amazing. The partnership of St. Holmes and the Nuge was incredible.

Ted Nugent, as a solo artist, comes roaring out of the gate with a romping, stomping masterpiece of mid-'70's metal. The guitar tone is consistent with 1975, but not as cutting as it would become in just a couple more years. The first six songs are all Nugent classics, even if "Stranglehold" goes on forever and a few more minutes. The rest? Who cares!

From: Doghouse Reilly	Date: March 7, 2017 at 21:48
A great debut from Uncle Ted, with only a couple fillers near the end (perhaps the lowest percentage for the Nuge). I always felt like his guitar tone could've been a little sharper or heavier even for 1975, but there's no denying his playing, or the strong songs. The consistency is further helped by Derek St. Holmes singing every song.

Shit, I already commented more or less the same thing five years ago ... sorry.

this is the proove that you don t change your opinion all the five minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good solo debut by "The Nuge"..."Motor City Madhouse" is a killer song and by far the best one of the Record...some other fine moments to me are tracks # 2,3,4 & 7....go,go Ted!...80/100

Time to expand, as our friend says. Uncle Ted's official solo debut is a loud, rowdy, rockin' good time, and along with Aerosmith epitomizes bluesy, American hard rock of the mid-'70's (as opposed to Englishmen trying to sound American). Tom Werman's production philosophy of the time was to emphasize a strong rhythm guitar sound, which may explain the anemic drums, and even some of Ted's leads sound a little thin in hindsight. "Stranglehold" is of course entirely too long, and could have been pared down by two minutes without sacrificing much of the solo. "Hey Baby" and the underrated "Where Have You Been" bring a fun, hip-swinging groove, while "Motor City Madhouse" is like early, early speed-metal, one of two songs Ted "sings" on (correcting my previous comment. The guitar tone isn't quite up to that riff, though folks might not have known any better '75.

"Just What The Doctor Ordered" and "Snakeskin Cowboy" cruise along, and "Stormtroopin'" might be the geaviest thing here outside of "Madhouse," which is why I like it. Too bad it's basically an anthem for crackpots, but that's Ted for you. His music has to be appreciated in context of its time, like Foghat's or even ZZ Top's.

Good comparison made, "in context of its time, like Foghat or even ZZ Top's." Agree.
