I have to admit, the band's name is really a joke, and I thought at first, they're just another average and forgettable band. When I first heard their ballad, "Don't You Know", from an old compilation tape, I have an interest in finding out what kind of band is this and what type of music did they play. When I got the chance to hear their debut from start to finish, I was completely surprised, if not shocked, with the energy, the rawness, and the high quality of musicianship wrapped inside this record. This Hanover-based act played a solid melodic hard rock/heavy metal which inspired by the American sound of White Lion and Dokken, blended with their hometown's senior bands, Victory and Pink Cream 69.

The twelve tracks presented here are majority in an uptempo fashion, pretty good if you're looking for some adrenaline pumping album in a traditional heavy metal way. "Still You Want More" has a nice harmonic chorus and mesmerizing tones, in my opinion, this is a big opener and their finest moment. "No. 9" and "Stand Up" are another killer tracks with an outstanding solos by the duo Steffan/Grosser. The English singer, Andrew "Mac" Dermott is also a phenomenal frontman, he has a strong raspy timbre and a large range, and his capability was shining all over the album. "Do You Remember" and "Just One Night" both have an exciting and memorable chorus, these two songs are the most potential chart-breaker, it's a shame they didn't get the recognition they deserved.

Handled by Tommy Newton from Victory, the production level is very good and the songs' arrangements are massive and no unnecessary weak fillers at all. This is a forgotten gem you have to buy if you're a fan of big vocal, huge guitars, and melodic composition. A classy debut by a truly great band!
