Temporary Message Board Closure
The company hosting the message board sprung a surprise price hike on me that
would have more than tripled the monthly hosting costs, so I've been scrambling
to find an alternative. I've purchased a license for self-hosting a different
platform and am hiring a consultant to migrate the existing board's content
(posts, user profiles, etc.).
However, this means I need to shut down the message board for anywhere
from 3 days to (hopefully less than) a week so the data can be migrated.
While this is an expensive proposition up front, it should result in some
long-term savings.
The current message board will be closed down at some point this
Saturday, August 23. I will post updates here. The main site (where you are
reading this), will NOT be affected.

| OMG I bought this and tried my hardest to get into it, but I couldn't get past the GAWD AWFUL, OUT OF TUNE SINGING. I mean, did the producers of this record just say 'close enough' and stamp it? I don't even think you can catoragize these guys as AOR, melodic or metal. They were very punkish and sounded like they were trying to crossover to mainstream rock on this album. The production is also terrible. Overall, this CD may have the distinction of being the very worst album I ever bought. 1/10

| LOL Kip, I agree fully. I know these guys have a following, but this is the only album I ever bought of them and I thought it was absolutely awful. Couldn't see the allure at all. Where were the hooks and the good songs? The decent musicianship? Couldn't find any of it on this one. Hugely unrecommended and I think 1/10 is too generous!

| Brilliant album. Easily the best glam band of the 1980's. Across between 70's glam, punk, pop and hard rock. Classic for sure.
