No Surprize for Chiquita and Think About
Pros: An improvement over Draw the Line
Cons: Cheesecake
Overall this album gets better after a few repeated listens and while it may be not on par with Toys in the Attic and Rocks but it's better than Draw the Line cause I think that this album was more focused despite the internal relationships between Steven Tyler and Joe Perry and their wives (they went from best friends to worst enemies) and the drugs were really killing them and halfway through making the album, Joe Perry left the band over spilt milk.
I'm going to rate it song by song.

Catch the Silver Mountain
Pros: Dio's first taste of success, great melodies
Cons: a couple of filler tracks
I think that this album is worth it for Man on the Silver Mountain alone cause it's such a real badass song and it was also Dio's first taste of success and I'm glad that Deep Purple founder Ritchie Blackmore wanted to be in a band with the guys from Elf (with the exception of guitarist Steve Edwards). ...

Weakest album by Starz
Pros: Some good songs
Cons: their weakest album, final choruses are subpar
I think that Starz's 3rd album Attention Shoppers is their worst album cause of lazy songwriting and the songs seem to be rather unfocused and while there are some good songs, I think that this album is way below the expectations of their first 2 albums and fortunately their followup album Coliseum Rock is a much better album due to better songwriting and choruses. ...

Should've been as successful as Kiss
Pros: Great melodies and riffs
Cons: Out of print
I think that Starz should've been as successful as Kiss and Aerosmith cause they have the same attitude as those bands and I consider Starz as part of the 'Big 3' which also includes the aforementioned Kiss and Aerosmith and I was lucky enough to have it on vinyl and it's a great record. ...

Great Album
Sadly, Axe never recieved the commercial success like they truly deserved cause they were one of rock's most talented bands of all time and they can do anything from Motorhead and Iron Maiden to Journey and Styx, these guys had talent and I think that all rock/metal fans should get this album but it's very hard to find, I actually saw 'Heat in the Street' on VH1 Classic during the Metal Mania Hour and they play lots of rare music videos on that channel and it's something you'll never get on MTV or VH1. ... -

Good album but not Aerosmith's best
I thought that this album wasn't one of Aerosmith's better albums during the classic era but it's better than their 90's stuff, Rock in a Hard Place is about a notch above Night in the Ruts and Draw the Line but it's notches below their other classic albums. ... -

Aerosmith's heaviest album yet
Aerosmith sure knows how to play some great hard edged rock 'n' roll and although Joe Perry claims that they're doing a lot of drugs by that time, but the drugs weren't slowing the boys down....yet, Back in the Saddle and Last Child were the hit singles that get classic rock airplay but other tunes kickass as well, if you're a new fan to Aerosmith, then I suggest that you start getting into their 70's stuff and get this album. ... -

The Modern Day of Being Seventeen
This is another great Foreigner album also it didn't do quite as well as their first two albums probably due to the fact that new bassist Rick Wills replaced Ed Gagliardi and also this was Foreigner's last album with Al Greenwood and Ian McDonald and I think that they would've been better off with them, every song is great except I'll Get Even With You and Modern Day, while they're good their just not in the classic mode. ...

Very Good Album
Pros: an improvement over their previous album
Cons: a couple of weak tracks
I'm glad that Starz decided to go back to their own style after the lackluster Attention Shoppers album and it is quite an improvement over that album, I would rate this album a notch below their debut album and can you guys tell me on how good Violation was? ...
