Great Album, Bad Remastering
You can hear the slight crackel on "The Kids Are Back" at the start of the song, just as the music is building up. Buyer beware, this was not remastered from the original master tapes, it was remastered from vinyl. My Wife heard it & she don't even have the ear for this sort of thing. Shame, shame on Spitfire.


Pulled this out of the old vinyl bin
I remember listening to this album more than I thought I would over time. It was a nice nostalgic trip pulling out a near mint condition vinyl copy of this album from my childhood stash.

"Stay Hungry" was silly and ruined things ultimately, but this album is the one TS album I listened to. . . secretly. It's got more of a 70's, hard rock style, with the obvious mid-80's pop metal influence creeping in. . . it's Sister's finest moment.

They were a fun band who didn't take themselves too seriously, and to this day I'll never understand the "drag" side of hair metal bands, the back cover of this LP shows them in their "normal" attire (sleeveless jean jackets, big fro's) split in half with a picture of the band in their "sister" attire (i. e. drag).

Good to see Dee still on the tube here and there, and that he still likes to rock and hasn't changed much. This album is very respectable for 70's and 80's metal, despite the drag queen biker-cheese.

Old School At It's Best
Raw but intense! Twisted Sister is an incredible band. . The tracks on this album are just as I remembered, but I haven't heard them in years. I Am, I'm Me is about my favorite song on this project. It's flat out HEAVY with balls!!!! Every metal lover should get this and play it loud!!! Do neck exercises before you headbang. . . You WILL be sore!.


This Should Have Been The Break Through Album
If this had been the follow up disk to "Stay Hungry" instead of "Come Out and Play", Twisted Sister would have cemented themselves atop the hair metal genre. "You Can't Stop Rock N' Roll" is a fantastic rock album. I am not sure why this disk didn't receive the attention "Stay Hungry" did.
"The Kids are Back" - Great kick off to the disk, excellent guitar work, and really sets the tone for what is to come.
"Like a Knife in the Back" - Not the best tune on the disk, but the chorus will get stuck in your head all the same.
"Ride to Live, Live to Ride" - Great song, this should have been in heavy rotation on metal radio. This is the perfect song to crank up on the car stereo on a hot summer day.
"I Am (I'm Me)" - Another awesome tune, and Dee's vocals really shine here.
"The Power and the Glory" - Another rock anthem by a band that helped construct the blueprints of rock anthems.
"We're Gonna Make It" - All about the power of Twisted Sister and their SMFs.
"I've Had Enough" - Classic me against the world teen angst tune, perfect when you are 16 and pissed at the world.
"I'll Take You Alive" - One of the few clunkers on an otherwise stellar disk.
"You're Not Alone (Suzette's Song)" - A cool power ballad released in a time before they became a cliche.
"You Can't Stop Rock n' Roll" - The title song is a great rock anthem, and is easily as good as "I Wanna Rock".

**The copy of the disk I own is the original album, so I can't speak to the new material on the remaster, but the original album is well worth the under $10 price by itself**.


Clarification on Remastered Recording
Filled with raw energy before their comercial successful release 'Stay Hungry'. 1st off, good TS album. Now regarding the recording. What I read when this Spitfire re-release came out in 1999 along with Under The Blade, Come Out and Play, and Love Is For Suckers is that they were recorded from vinal and not truly digitally remastered from the master recordings. I believe on this release you can here an occasional 'pop' that you would hear on a record. So in a sense, it has the warmness of a record that a lot of older folk miss hearing on a recording.
