I've always loved METAL ON METAL and generally enjoy the tongue-in-cheek aspects of Anvil's music. Based on the reviews I've read for this album, I was expecting some equally great songs or at least something close. Boy, was I in for a huge disappointment. I actually had to hit stop on my Media Player in the middle of "Make It Up To You" because my patience had been worn so thin. There's nothing here even close to as good as METAL ON METAL. The title track seemed promising at first, but Lipps' overwrought vibrato made even this song a bit hard to take seriously. Even when the music does become semi-interesting, the vocals pretty much ruin every song for me. This is just too friggin' goofy and third rate sounding to my ears. I'm probably being pretty generous in giving this a whole 2 stars.
