10. Got Me On the Line
“Got Me On The Line” brings us to the home stretch, Stephen Pearcy can tell a relationship story the way DMX or Francis Ford Coppola Would tell a Crime Story. Yeah that’s the lyrical empasis. Juan Croucier’s Bass Line improves the already-there Catchy hook.”
9. You Should Know by Now
“One ASpect of this album desrving of mention is how some tunes immdiately flow into the next one, for instance “You Should Know By Now”. This song should be required music for parties. Every element perpetuates an Uplifting/Good Time atmosphere. The high pitched intro riff, and lyrics such as”
8. Give It All
“Structurally speaking “Give It All” is more complicated at first listen. The riff changes 3 times within the first minute. It took me a few listens for the song to “Sink In”. A soaring Lead is coupled by a verse backing which doesn’t quite qualify as “Chord Bleeding’ for guitarists reading. The Solo is memorable, but not because the Bass lets up which is unique in it’s own right.”

7. Between the Eyes
“Having your heart broken by a two-timer who then wants to have sex with you. This sounds like it could be written from a female perspective since this situation is usually what men do with women.”
6. What You Give Is What You Get
“After Gong Adventurous routes, the Robbin Crosby/Warren Demartini Twin Guitars and Bass all converge for “What You Give Is What You Get” each instrument nearly meshes together. The Ferocious chorus buildup sticks with me.”
5. Closer to My Heart
“Closer To My Heart” is an acoustic-flavored tune that surpasses “Back For More” off the preceding album. The Electric guitar does show up, slashing and burning. The song fades out in faster speed.”

4. Dangerous But Worth the Risk
“Dangerous But Worth The Risk” – A splendid closer if there ever was one. The Best Part is when Stephen sings “I…Know it’s True”. The Steady drive doesn’t let up til the very end.”
3. Never Use Love
“Never Use Love” packs a punch with a Sawblade Riff. Bobby Blotzer bashes away behind the kit with an aggresive attitude and the Stephen Pearcy’s Squeal amidst the chorus is the best of the whole album.”
2. You’re In Love
“You’re In Love” gets the album off to a quality start, with a Catchy guitar hook, the lightning sound effects enhance the overall experience for me. The Video was a classic stageshow teamed with classic videoclips. Big Hit.”
1. Lay It Down
“The Other Big Hit was “Lay It Down”. The moderate Tempo and Heavy Riff does a lot for me. The Topic Du Jour is sex and the verses play out like a dialog a guy would say to his girlfriend, with a slowdown spoken word portion. The Backing Bass Line has a “Galloping Horse’ fell which is sounds familiar if you’ve listened to Iron Maiden for extended time a la moi.”
