I pride myself on my musical opinions and reviews, but not on this one. I *have* to give this pop metal album a 4/5 as much as I want to dismiss it. I loved this SO much as a 13 year old. The scope you see on the cover of the album actually had me in its sights: the “target” audience. I bought the album, the concert tickets, and the shirt. By the time Hysteria came out my musical tastes had changed considerably — but these songs still sound SO good to me. So for what it’s worth here is my very nostalgic, non-objective 4 Star rating.
