If you're an ACDC fan then these guys & Airbourne might be worth checking, otherwise a rather average mid tempo romp of an album, with some very uninspired writing.

Much acdc and a bit of spiced up rock 'n roll. Fun but not to be taken too serious.

It wasn't until their seventh studio album that Swiss rockers Krokus were able to get America to take notice of them. ONE
VICE AT A TIME is easily my favorite Krokus album, even though their following album HEADHUNTER was truly their commercial
breakthrough. It definitely deserves more love that what it seems to be getting on the Internet.
The very first time I heard "Long Stick Goes Boom", I wondered aloud whether this was something a new AC/DC album. Between
the big slashing cowboy chords through Marshall stacks, the plucked arpeggios (a la "Put The Finger On You") and Marc
Storace's banshee shrieking, it wouldn't be hard to convince your average layperson that it was indeed AC/DC. Krokus has
received a lot of guff from pundits for unashamedly co-opting the sound that the brothers Young made so iconic, yet they do
it so brilliantly here. In fact, Marc Storace's name has often been pushed forward in discussions about possible
replacements for Bon or Brian.
Although guitarists Fernando Von Arb & Mark Kohler (who first joined the band for this album) obviously have great love for
the AC/DC sound, their approach is a bit more metalized and European. Marc's vocals on "Playin' The Outlaw" are nearly
throat shredding, yet he sounds none the worse for the wear. Other standouts include "To The Top" and their well chosen
heavy metal take on the Guess Who?s "American Woman". There are a few less than stellar tracks, but the high points easily
make up for any lulls in the action. When Krokus have all cylinders firing, they can seriously kick some ass.
