Fastway--All Fired Up (1984)
Rating--6.6

A bit more blues-based than the debut, though still metallic. In fact, the band this release probably reminds the most of is Kiss. Eddie Clarke continues with strong chops, and Dave King croons along in his enchanting fasion...
"Steal the Show" rocks steady, with strong riff chords giving it fuel. More riffs dot "Station," which features some great guitar strafing action. The title cut is solid as well, if perhaps a notch below in energy.
"Telephone" is a sassy mid-tempo blues rocker, and the slow-to-heavy mood piece "If You Could See" is excellent--it will be re-released on the 'Trick or Treat' album.
