Customer Reviews Good classic 80's metal. Very melodic hooks and very tasty guitar riffing. Only missing one star for production quality. This was the only album I liked by this band, but it was such a great album that I kept searching for it on CD over the years. The wait is over. Killer Dwarfs - 'Stand Tall' (Bullseye) The Dwarfs were,in fact one of my favorite metal bands of the '80's. Very nice reissue of the band's 1986 debut lp on CD. Even had the thrill of catching them play live once. They put on just SUCH a fun show. The boys from up north(that's Canada,of course) showcase their brand of somewhat theatric 'pop metal'. As I recall,the guys in the band sort of always reminded me of those cool kids that you personally knew from high school. With cuts like "Stand Tall(Stick To Your Guns)","Through Animal Eyes","Keep The Spirit Alive" and "Do Or Die",I have to say that 'Stand Tall' is one of those CD's that goes by pretty quickly. It's THAT good. Should appeal to fans of Kix,Quiet Riot,Mama's Boy's and Princess Pang(anyone remember them?). Children of grunge, relive your youth! It was worth risking certain death to stay up late, watch Headbanger's Ball, and PRAY they would play the video to "Keep the Spirit Alive. I was 12 when this was originally released. " I could even deal with Adam Curry as long as I got to see Russ Graham act a fool. The image of "Geddy Lee's hyper little brother" is burned into my brain! This was one of the last great silly hair bands before Seattle changed the norm (thank you!). It's just the right mix of catchy rock riffs (admit it, you love it) and memorable lyrics. They are still around, so check them out live if you get the chance! Definitely recommended for anyone who remembers the 80's and wanted to strangle themselves before listening to yet another Top 40 song. .
