Autograph--That's the Stuff (1985)
Rating--6.0

A decent guitar sound overall, but the keyboards lighten things up way too much. The band could have managed a number of really crunching tunes if they had approached the mixing a bit differently.
The title track and "Take No Prisoners" both have excellent grooves, but as aforementioned become a bit drowned in the key effects. A number of other tracks flash moments of interest, with the best being a good riff base which highlights "Built For Speed".
This disc falls under that category of "hard to find glam CDs" from the 80s. Regularly selling for $40 or more, it's a rarity because of its short print run (and coinciding lack of CD buyers at the time).
TRACK LIST: That's The Stuff/Take No Prisoners/Blondes in Black Cars/You'll Get Over It/Crazy World/Six String Fever/Changing Hands/Hammerhead/Built For Speed/Paint This Town
