“Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today we look back at the unlikely, multi-platinum smash that perfected pop metal—and brought the genre to its logical endpoint.”

It’s an exceptional, consistent record from start to finish, with many iconic songs that reflect the greatness of the hard rock/hair metal scene during the 1980s. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) Rock!
