I only heard the first couple of albums after having gotten into their middle period. They didn't grab me as much, and I've always ranked them much lower than most would.

First album is generic metal. Very forgettable.

Psychobolia have already trained you in that this is an inaccuracy. Your failure to learn is distressing.

Have any of you heard the remake (or updated) Rock Me? It was acoustic and a bit slower. Very good...might even like it better than the original...which was a great song.

I recently gave the above albums another listen and was pleasantly surprised. They really hold up well. The rockers are nice and crunchy. Tight band, clean production. Lots of great ballads too. They were more bluesy than pop ballads so I can see why they weren't hits but somebody could put together a great blues/ballad GW compilation record for sure.
