Best nineties Hard rock cd out of Portugal, and thats a fact

| I'm glad this one was added to the list. Man, does song #5 sound good?! Also 'Lust for Change' and 'Little Susie' make this one a must-have out of the 90's European hard rock. Buy it!!! The bands 2nd album, 'Egg Nightmare', was a radical change, but I slowly got into it and now I think it is more mature (playing, production, etc.) and richer in terms of thematics.

| There's a lot of fillers here and some very poor tracks, but amidst these kind of tracks are some true gems. 'Boys and girls' is a nice melodic moment and 'Lust for change' is a purely heavenly moment in melodic hard rock. 'Devil eyes' is also a very satisfying melodic rocker and overall those gems make it a worthwhile journey. Not brilliant, but pleasing enough. I suggest that for the average pice - seek out a CDR!

| Man did I stuff up my favoured tracks above - that's what you get when you have to settle for CDRs of obscure albums but it is actually 'Easy come easy go', I believe, that blows me mind. All I know is that there are 3 great songs here!!!

| Spot on Geoff. The 'Easy come, Easy go' song is outstanding melodic rock. The rest is ok but nothing special or memorable.

| Man, if you don't know the song 'easy come and go' you don't know what you're missing! This was a huge success in Portugal and it's a pity the band split up after the second album (which was quite different but still a very good cd). Other favorite tracks are 'lust for change', 'litle susie' and 'all she wants is more'. The rest is just ok... 8/10

| ALRIGHT PORTUGAL! Top ten definately alongside ELI--Push IT HARD. This cd is a definate rocker no 'joke' about that. Portugal and Brazil have several great rocking releases out (chainless--ANother Way) this is great! 10/10

| Great cd, but I'd wouldn't consider paying the going rate for it. I'm with the majority here on the track 'Easy Come And Go' - fantastic song, along with 'Lust For Change' and 'Little Suzi' (boy that song sounds very similiar to another but I can't put my finger on it). The album has a bit of a Whitesnake '87 vibe to it while the lead singer sounds similiar to Eric Martin IMO.

| This a great release and one of the few that came out of my country. Unfortunately i didn't bought it when it was out. What a fool!!!. Any portuguese here reminds if they put out any demo tapes?

| Took me a while to finally pick this up and I'm glad I did. This is a fantastic CD, the songs are full of great hooks and there really isn't a filler on the entire CD. This sells for some pretty big bucks but this one is actually worth the price if you can find it (unless you want to buy one of the crappy boots of this that are floating around). Highly recommended!

| Here is a CD bursting with a full major label production, keyboards and cool guitar work. The songs are very melodious and full of harmonies and hooks. One tidbit of info.....the band released two CDs I am aware of. By all means, avoid the second. They went the route of grunge on that one, yuck!!!! Okay, back to ECSTASY......this is a monster, over the top, melodic sounding CD released on the Polygram label in Portugal. Extremely hard to find, even over there (I know, I've got a good friend there who searches for it all the time for me, so if you ever see it, get it. What I hear on this awesome album are elements of KC ROSE, EMERGENCY and some early BONJOVI mixed in with a bit of PERSIA and FOXX 'Gangster Of Love'. Okay, got the picture.....essential!!!!

Good Hard Rock album with a couple of AOR tracks...Portugal has exported many good bands recently(in the last 10 years i'd say) and well i think this act came out at the wrong time...they deserved more than one album and obviously more recognition though...about the tracks that are backed up with a good vocalist(Tiago Gardner)i'd go for these ones "All She Wants Is More"(rocks great!),"Commin' Round To See You","Easy Come Easy Go"(AOR song with a nice sax part included),"Funky Child"(  )& "Little Suzie"(Catchy AOR)...recommended album...88/100

| Absolutely phenomenal! Every track, killerific. All killah, no fillah! Even the intro at the opening of the album is incredible. Some of the best use of keys on a Hair Metal album ever. I guess most on here refer to this type of music as AOR but done like this, I think of it more as "Hair Metal" and I mean that in the most complimentary way. Also, the sax on "Easy Come Easy Go" is the best example of the use of that instrument in a song of the genre, bar none. Apologies to Tom Keifer. AND without question, "Easy Come Easy Go" is one of the greatest Hair/Glam tunes ever. If Joker had been around in 1986, livin' in L.A., playin' The Strip and touring the States, they woulda had a hit on their hands that song as well. It's THAT good!

| this one is a real treasure hunt,rare cd so everybody wants it!!!in fact its a good hard rock album ,kind of dokken meets mr big and one of the finest hard/glam albums born in portugal in early 90's here nothing was made in this genre of music so this stands out from the poor portuguese music panorama at the time,well all the fuzz about this band is overrated,i'm sure if they were in america by the time of this release they would be just a standard average rock sleazy/glam band like hundreds of others,i mean i like this album ,its ok,but production is bad and the songs just seems booring after a couple of listenings.in my opinion lead guitar is very good,great solo playng and easy come and go is the other 50% of this album,well we also have the second album egg nightmare ,a more heavy and well produced album with a change of music direction to a alice in chains/queensrych style but very original and well writen lirycs that no one talks!!!BECAUSE ITS NOT HERE IN HEAVY HARMONIES
