"Fire Down Under" is the best Riot album with Guy Speranza, probably the best Riot album hands down. I like this one as well, though I wouldn't score it as high because there is some filler on here as far as I'm concerned. High 70's, low 80's for me.

Mike, I agree with the score. This is such a fantastic album! Very underappreciated as far as I am concerned. Riot has been one of the greatest under the radar American heavy rock artists, and its very unfortunate.

Fire Down under is better.

This is a great, and often overlooked, classic album. Fire Down Under gets most of the praise (and it's well-deserved), but this debut and Narita were both great lead-ins for FDU (which is also my fav Riot album).

Great band. But one question. What the fuck is that thing on the cover that pops up on a few more of Riot's cds? That's the worst mascot a band has had since... well I think that's it really.

Now, now, Ben, don't be dissing on the baby seal. Dissing baby seals is considered a felony in over 78 countries and at least a misdemeanor in the rest.
