I think it suffers a bit from sounding a bit too much like 80's hair-metal to qualify as truly great rock'n'roll.

At the same time, it sounds a bit too much like gritty and "authentic" rock'n'roll to qualify as great hairmetal (think Mötley Crue's ''Shout at the devil'', first W.A.S.P album, the best Def Leppard songs).

Basically, it exists in some aesthetic nowhereland I rarely feel the need to visit and there's no nostalgia involved either because I was into more brutal stuff when it came out...

That being said, I NEVER change the station when those songs come on the radio and even the fillers feel like hits and in the context of 80's pathetic mainstream rock, those hits are as good as it gets so still, props!!!
