An album with a hit like "Burnin for You" is kind of hard to rate lower than an 85. Plus, there are a lot of solid songs on here, like Vengeance (with an awesome riff), Veteran of Psych Wars, Joan Crawford, and Sole Survivor. I've heard 1988's Imaginos and it's still my favorite BOC album, but this one is still a good experience.

This unexpectedly blew my mind. It drags on some kind of an occult-ish feeling but at the same time every song seems so fresh and great. Loads of awesome songs with great melodies too.
