| Not very impressive. Too much pop influence, not enough rock. Sounds like INXS trying to do hard rock.

| If INXS play this kind of music I want all their cds, R.C.0.China are harder, the singer's voice is powerful and guitar attacks. Their first cd was pop but this one kills.

| I must say this was a surprise find. Never heard of them (awful band name imo) but I was very impressed with the overall quality of this album. Great production, vocals, and guitar work. The songs were good but Desslar nailed it - you get this INXS vibe throughout while listening to it. Odd but good with tracks 1,4,5,6,and 8 being my favs.

| poor man's rock city angels. tracks 1,2 & 8 ok. they do sound like someone but i can't place it - certainly not INXS more like Roy Orbison!!! Bit of a country sleeze rock feel?

| Could not get into this one at all- I'd RATHER listen to INXS then this, no energy to it at all

| Ahhh,this brings back memories! I lent my LP to someone around 1990, but will definately buy it again (on CD this time...)! Who cares about Orbison, INXS or sleeze country or what genre this might be - it´s really good music and that´s enough for me!

| Yeah, this is one for the brave. I guess you'd call it a hard rock CD, but the concepts, ideas and songs are not for me at all. I just couldn't even remotely get into these guys. Skipped through the songs like a frog upon the lilly pads. Definately not recommended by me.

| Vaya Stylo cerrando los años 80's aqui con un Hard Rock 'N' Roll muy fiestero no es gran cosa este disco, pues es un rock comercial como muchos que salieron en la epoca un hard rock ordinario Con su toque Clasico y unos sonidos muy fiesteros..

| Average album, too much pop, country, and some parts, new wave influences.At least, the vocalist is good. 65/100.
