Not a very good album and Chris Van Dahl looks like Temu version of Steven Tyler

I remember seeing them on the tour for this record. Only 37 people at the gig and almost everybody left when they played that terrible punk metal version of Ballad of Jayne. Just as bad as when Skid Row did I Remember You Two.
