Donington 1988 would like a word with you. Maiden, Kiss, DLR, Megadeth, GNR and Helloween was a solid line-up. You could argue Kiss vs Roth or Priest vs Ozzy but Krokus and Quiet Riot got nothing on Megadeth and Guns.

A massive disappointment.

Imagine following up LAFS with something comparable... they could have become a massive band. Instead, this album pretty much killed their upward ascent and they never recovered.

You may have forgotten, I sure wish I did, but later they released a little single called "Wind of Change" that became one of the best selling singles in history, up there with the Elton Johns, Celine Dions and Michael Jacksons. The biggest single ever worldwide by a Sludge band for sure.

It didn't do for them what Hysteria did for DL coming off of Pyromania.

One big ballad doesn't do as much for you as another massive album of big rock songs all over the radio like LAFS Part II would have done.

Yeah WoC was a fluke. As a hard rock/metal band they were finished.
