Miserable Didn't listen

Yuck Fav track: Jump

It's Top Jimmy, HE'S the king You know, when Jump kicked this thing off I was like hey, maybe Eddie and the gang are just a bit of fun. We've all enjoyed some synth power-chords. A classic cheeseburger record! What followed was some of the most stupendously annoying cock-rock I have ever had the displeasure of hearing. I thought Drop Dead Legs was handily the worst song I had heard doing this project, but then Hot For Teacher comes along and wins it by a country mile! What I wouldn't have given to tear out this man's larynx after the fifteenth 'neeyyoww', a vocalisation that reminded me in spirit of a baby being sick onto its bib. Favourite track and only redeeming feature of the album is Jump.

‘Jump’ is a decent song… but the Glee version is superior. Other than that, this album was trash, 33 minutes that felt like an eternity in hellfire.

I did not listen to Jump as like the entire population of earth I have heard it a billion times. The rest of the album is somehow worse..Jump has at least a pop sensibility. The rest is hair metal with a touch of synth. An album with no redeeming features at all. As you listen you can hear how it was written for the videos.

Not familiar with Van Halen, but had an impression of them in my head... Jump came on... oh shit, I got Van Halen wrong. Rest of the album... I got Van Halen right. One good song, the rest was woeful, shit lyrics, boring. I am feeling shame listening to it. 1* despite Jump

ugh, sorry not my thing at all. can't listen to this whole thing.

1 for Jump being such a big hit. I’m being very generous here.

Eddie's a great player, and "Jump" was perfectly fine. But this band usually just bores me to tears.

Hair Rock has an age cap that expired decades ago. 1.0

The only thing worse than cheesy butt rock wankery is cheesy butt rock wankery with cheesier synths.

Coming in at 33 minutes, at least it's a short one..

I hate this.

Tää bändi/genre ei oo kyllä tarkoitettu mulle. Vielä huonompi kuin debyytti, 0/5.

not for me.

Liked the album but not much variance in beat / rhythms after 4th song

1 1/2, inte min kopp alls

Oh mein gott halts maul

Not more hair rock. Awful

Fan ta detta album

Stopped listening halfway through Hot for Teacher. Genuinely awful

I hated it

Heb ik niet veel mee.

Aguanté hasta la quinta canción y lo quité. Menudo rollo.

Slucham pierwszy raz, choc sama nazwa obila mi sie o uszy po tym jak Van Halen od ktorego grupa bierze nazwa sie przekrecil na druga strone, przed tym znalem jedynie z kawalkow granych z radia, bo juz po drugim tracku wiem co to jest, bo kto nie zna jumpa, tak klasycznie syntezatorowy kawalek, a im dalej w albumik tym wiecej wyjcowania i ciezkiego walenia po instrumentach, czyli jak dla mnie najgorszego co moge uslyszec, zaraz po slunskich szlagierach, czare goryczny przelal kawalek girl gone bad, zwlaszcza jego druga polowa ktora zamiast wokali wykorzystuje rytmiczne wycie, no bo przeciez girl gone bad, wiec zaczelo sie jak jakis synth poipowy albumik rozkrecalo sie rock z elentami synthu, a konczylo jak metal dla boomerow hamerykanskich, a to wszystko w 33 minuty, na plejliste wrzucam kawalek ktory juz znalem, czyli jump, bo chyba byl on najbardziejsluchalnym elementem calego albumika

Kind of cool
