Not For the Innocent--RealAudio

**UMR Review Poll Winner**
The second (and final) release to feature Vinnie Vincent on guitars, this was also the first non-makeup album for the band. There are plenty of the sex-sleaze themed tracks, as VV actually contributed heavily to the writing process. A solid release, and it marked a bit of return for the band in the States, as several strong selling albums would follow.
The heavier, chugging mainframe of "Exciter" opens the platter, with the grinding and attitude-nasty "Not For the Innocent" being a top-spot right on its heels.
The boys' patented, party-flow knack is shown on the title track, with "And on the 8th Day" being good as well. The swaying "All Hell's Breakin' Loose" is another cut that leaves its mark.

TRACK LIST: Exciter/Not For the Innocent/Lick it Up/Young and Wasted/Gimme More/All Hell's Breakin' Loose/A Million to One/Fits Like a Glove/Dance All Over Your Face/And on the 8th Day
