Shy England--Misspent Youth

Shy England--Misspent Youth (1990/MCA) Rating--7.1

A Slaughter/Crue feel for the most part, as the songs have decent grooves and a smooth-yet-tough finish. Power vox with high range; another of those "riff" albums that got caught in the early nineties metal release graveyard, and never really had much of a chance...
The strong and slashing "Never Trust a Stranger" is the disc's highest point, and a number of other tracks make headway as well: "Burnin' Up," "Money," "Broken Heart," and "Love on the Line." The sassy "Make My Day" hearkens back to the attitude of the aforementioned bands, as in all this is a definite above-average disc.
TRACK LIST: Give It All You Got/Burnin' Up/Pub/Money/After the Love is Gone/Never Trust a Stranger/Broken Heart/Shake the Nations/When You Need Someone/Love on the Line/Make My Day/Encore
