THE REVIEW

1984... the eccentric sister returns with her third and most representative album and this time makes a commercial "bang".

A very raw but at the same time very catchy heavy metal, this - nevertheless excellent work - opens with the title track "Stay Hungry", very simple riffs, but at the same time very fast and impactful, very heavy solos and a voice that reaches the maximum, a Snider in great shape and high energy, abrasive. The work continues with one of the Sister’s most successful tracks, the highly decorated "We're Not Gonna Take It", a spectacular piece that's hard to describe, you just have to listen to it, bringing with it a good dose of joy and great rebellion that for the youth of the time became a true anthem. It proceeds with "Burn in Hell" much darker than the previous ones, a track in pure 80s heavy metal style. It continues with the gloomy atmospheres with "Horror-Teria", even more sinister than the previous one divided moreover into two sub-tracks "Captain Howdy" and "Street Justice" that highlight the great vocal capabilities of the frontman. We arrive at the fifth track "I Wanna Rock" which I believe many of us have hummed at least once, the track presents itself with a very modern way of singing for the time, a great piece. We come to "The Price" in my opinion the most beautiful track and one of the most direct metal-style ballads I have ever heard, heartfelt voice, perfect rhythms, very romantic harmonies to be listened to at least 200 times in a row. The album draws to a close with the last three songs probably those that will be least remembered but not for this reason inferior to the previous ones "Don't Let Me Down", "The Beast" and "S.M.F.", very heavy riffs and drums very much in evidence.

In conclusion, I can recommend this album to everyone, really everyone, another album to absolutely have.
