SHOT IN THE DARK was a transitional record that was actually more indicative of the bluesier hard rock they would play during their post-hair metal era. Fans of their self-titled debut album may be disappointed to hear the smoother production, added keyboards and less edgier fare on this album which is fairly forgettable. The only standout for me is their well chosen cover of "Face The Day", which was originally done by the Aussie hard rock outfit The Angels. However, "Gimme Some Lovin'" was a poorer choice for a cover tune. Pretty lame really.
