A work by a Made in Japan heavy metal band that shook the entire United States.
Released in 1986, this was the first album after the label transfer. It contains a total of nine songs, including the lead single "LET IT GO" and the B-side "Dark Desire."
This is the second release from Atlantic, and the first release in Japan since moving to Warner. With Max Norman, known for producing Ozzy Osbourne, the band revived the early LOUDNESS style of complex song structures and rhythm arrangements with off-beat time signatures for a US audience. The superb guitar playing by Akira Takasaki has become even more impressive, making this a masterpiece that shocked the US.
