There's some really nice guitarwork here, kinda reminds me of Hanoi Rocks cuz it isn't Slash's wide-legged gonzo, it was dirty yet elegant, like Keith Richard's groove.

And they wear their (many) influences on their sleeves: from the Stones to Alice Cooper to REM. It's all good stompy hard rock, with the standard second-album angst that allows quieter lighters-in-the-air moments like 'Stay Up and Talk To Me All Night' to creep in.
