Checked this album out for the only reason anyone else did, Michael Angelo Batio on guitars.
His technique is incredible, and there's no faster guitarist at his level of fame, but I
never thought he was the greatest songwriter. This album is a tiring, one-dimensional
listen. It's just riffs, high pitched vocal shrieks that sound like Rockso The Rock N' Roll
Clown from Metalocalypse, and crazy fast guitar shredding for 50-or-so minutes. Even on
"Long Way From Home", which is supposed to be the slower, ballad type track, it starts with
this nice acoustic intro, but is quickly ruined by the wailing vocals. A couple minutes in
it abruptly switches to fast shredding that totally clashes with the established tone the
song was going for. Even if you wanted to get heavy there, a more melodic solo would've been
much more appropriate. As far as positives, "Freight Train" and "Machine Gun Eddie" are
listenable. Vocalist Jim Gillette even holds a note for 30 straight seconds on MGE, which is
really impressive to listen to, and the track tries switching it up by experimenting with
some thrash-inspired riffs and drumbeats. Otherwise, steer clear unless you're a huge fan of
MAB or 80s hair metal. Even then, I'm not sure how much new this album has to offer.

The best kind of retarded. This is grade-A try-hard schlock and I'm totally okay with that.

Delightfully weird. In desperate need of re-evaluation.

One of the most egregious examples of '80s musical excess, O.F.R. is a nightmare, combining the shrieking, tasteless vocals of Jim Gillette with the pointless, equally tasteless guitar shredding of Michael Angelo Batio. It's occasionally fun-- the incredibly long vocal note in "Machine Gunn Eddie"-- but most of it is excruciatingly bad.
