Review - :
While {$W.A.S.P.} remained a gimmick-heavy live act (around this time, {$Blackie Lawless} had a codpiece that would shoot sparks!), they attempted to grow musically with each successive release -- most evidently beginning with 1986's {^Inside the Electric Circus}. While {$Lawless} was the band's main leader and songwriter from the beginning, he had even more of a say in the musical direction by switching to rhythm guitar from bass when original guitarist {$Randy Piper} exited the band (ex-{$King Kobra} member {$Johnny Rod} joined on bass). By selecting a pair of early-'70s {\hard rock} classics to cover -- {$Humble Pie}'s {&"I Don't Need No Doctor"} and {$Uriah Heep}'s {&"Easy Living"} -- it was clear that {$W.A.S.P.} wanted their fans to pay more attention to the music. But it's not to say that the group completely abandoned their brash {\heavy metal} roots -- the U.K. single {&"9.5.-N.A.S.T.Y."} and the album-opening title track packed plenty of scream-along excitement. [The 1998 reissue contains a pair of B-sides previously unavailable on CD: {&"Flesh and Fire"} and {&"D.B. Blues."}] ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
