"Gone are the O.F.R. cloths, hair and look of Nitro's past. What remains is the "ìbeen sucking on helium" high vocals of Jim Gillete and the outrageous guitar playing of Micheal Angelo. Songs like "H.W.D.W.S," a 95 m.p.h. rocker and "Johnny Died" a full on glam rocker would have fitted well on the last Nitro record, so the attitude hasn't changed any. Nitro also do a very cool version of Ted Nugent's top ten hit "Cat Scratch Fever," complete with some lightning quick double bass and speedy guitar solos. "Hey Mike" is a shred solo, proving that Michael Angelo could compete with the best known guitarists." ~A review found on the internet from hours of searching...
