| I just re-found this CD. Man it rocks. Of all the sleaze bands, this one comes closest to the raw-uncompromising sound of GnR App. f Dest. If you get a chance pick this one up.

| I remember I was 17 when I bought this record and it never left my turn table. Anyone remember vinyl??? Circus of Power belongs in the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame not for their stardom (we all know that) but for their legacy and the kick ass music they provide to their fans. I saw them perform in 2000 with L.A. Guns. Fantastic show!

| hakksaw, I can send you some mp3s if you'd like. Also, I have an album I'd sell for cheap. I have a cd, so I no longer need it. I might have a cassette, but I doubt it. Also, if you have the movie "The Burbs," at one point you'll see Corey Feldman painting the house and "Machine" is going in the background. rio1harris@aol.com

| Great album; I too had it on vinyl, got rid of it, and regretted it. Finally tracked it down on e-bay. "Motor" has always been one of my faves, but once I got the cd, I rediscovered the whole thing. I simply made a wav file, and deleted the beginning of "Needles" which is otherwise a GREAT song!

| Joder este album es una pasada, rock'n'roll de principio a fin, no hay ningun tema de relleno, ideal para saborearlo mientras conduces y es que para mi es la quintaesencia del sonido sleazy angelino. Merecieron mejor suerte. Algún tema destacable? TODOS!!!

| This band is great!!! Thanks to this site for helping me find such a lost treasure. They sound like Steve Jones on his "Fire & Gasoline" cd. This one will kick your ass. Does anyone have any other suggestions for bands of this kind of music? Unknown bands?

| Dios mio que disco mas espantoso,(este mismo comentario lo hago extensible a sus 2 siguientes discos) aqui lo que tenemos es la antítesis de la melodia, elegancia y el buen gusto osea rock crudo aguarrado sin pulir ni refinar,hay algunas bandas que con estos mismos conceptos o parámetros son capaces de sacar temas buenos,pero no es el caso de esta gente.MALO DE SOLEMNIDAD.

| No puedo estar más en desacuerdo con 9 Champions a 1, el disco me parece soberbio desde el primer segundo hasta el último. Precisamente esa es su virtud, la crudeza, la falta de arreglos "elegantes" por usar los mismos términos que han servido de crítica. Esa es la esencia del sleazy. Sino, sería AOR, y no es el caso.

Hombre si volviesen a regrabar las canciones d este disco y le aplicasen en esta ocasión esos adornos o señas de identidad tipicamente -aoreras- que citas, es posible que nos saliese un disco de AOR , si, pero nos saldria un disco AOR de los malos. Y es q amigo,lo que realmente cuenta es que los temas sean de calidad, lo de la crudeza,macarreria,desfachatez,cochinez está muy bien pero si hay solo de eso y nada de lo otro ¿de q vale? Pues no vale para nada,y este disco es un claro ejemplo.0/10

| Machine is a cool song; has the party harty gang vocals; first heard that song in the movie "The Burbs" which is why I bought this CD. CD also has a few other decent to good songs. If you're looking for something very melodic, high pitched vocals, and technical then don't buy; but for just straight up more raw hard rock then it's recommended.

| This is a nice decent debut even though you can read diverse comments about it.Personally "White thrash queen" & "Motor" are good songs in a typical hard rock sleazee thing but with a rough edge.Raw'n'roll in here folks!.

| very good hard rock album. Alex's vocals are awsome-this voice goes along with the band's playing. my fav. songs on this album: Motor (their best song),Call of the Wild, In the Wind and Heart Attack.

| I'd always heard what an underrated classic this disc was, so I guess it's natural I might be a bit disappointed when I finally got ahold of it. To me, I'm hearing some early, raw, GnR, minus the hooks, and maybe some Four Horsemen, again, minus the hooks. I get the feeling that the songs are there, but Alex Mitchell's vocals are echoey, not particularly melodic, and just don't really stand out, and the guitars have a tinny, buzzy sound similar to L.A. Guns's poorly-produced debut. This just doesn't strike me as a particularly memorable disc, and I really was looking forward to it, being a fan of that whole "biker-metal" thing.

Raw'N'Roll!!!...dirty mean biking Rock & Roll by all means!!!..."Motor",White Trash Queen"(Love this one),"In The Wind"(  ),"Heart Attack","Letters Home"(in this song the voice of Alex Mitchell is incredibly alike to Mick Jagger  ) & "Backseat Mama" are top tracks without any waste!!!...from time to time is good 2 undust my vinyls and spin them again...89/100

| Okay, been listening to this disc again, and I like it better than I did at first. Good tracks are "Motor," "White Trash Queen," "Heart Attack" (which is almost the same song as "motor"), "Letters Home," 'Machine" and 'Turn Up The Jams." But still, it's hard to see CIrcus Of Power as anything more than an average band with average songs, a below-average singer and below-average production. They were probably great live, but it just doesn't come across in the studio.

| Excellent debut for COP back in 88 offering a raw sleazy solid hard rock sound with a strong street feel that is their trademark!"motor","call of the wild","heart attack" are fine songs indeed
