After a walk between 4 and 5 k at the track I decided to come home and write a review. As the last album I was listening to (and am listening to again while writing this) was Twisted Sister’s “Stay Hungry”—I think it is obvious that this is the album I should choose to speak about!
Featuring nine classically blasting tracks this is a great record for fans of both rock and classic metal alike. Furthermore, this is an excellent album to listen to for those that are just learning to play the guitar! The rhythm guitar, although notoriously catchy is exceedingly simplistic and I’d put it up there with some of the early albums from Green Day for “easy learning”.
Although “We’re Not Gonna Take it” and “I Wanna Rock” are clearly vibrant winners, every song on this record is well worth giving a listen or three. Some of the songs like Burn in Hell and Horror-Teria (Captain Howdy/Street Justice) have a darker vibe and would be good to blare through your speakers when you are looking to indulge in a “mild” spookfest!
To close out my rambling I will just say give this album a listen. Twisted Sister has other records, but this one always stood out to me as a solid listen. As I was inspired to purchase a physical copy I think that says it all. And if you don’t wish to do the same—I’m sure you can rock it on YouTube or Spotify or places similar! -Devin J. Meaney
