![]() ![]() Oh man, even a quick, non-linear fade down at the end. Ok, this is definitely better than most of the garbage fluff on the album. Desperately sounds a bit like an American version of a Scorpions song. Will this one be any different? Sounds it to start. Mark, lean on the WHOOAAA OHHHHs, no one will notice! It sounds like trashy versions of those songs. another ransom note of a song pieced together from the soul of "The Boys are Back in Town", "Maggie May", "You're The Want (Grease)". This song is trapped in between SO many other songs with zero identity of its own. WHY?!?!? Does no one in this band know how to write an ending to a song? Gave Me Your Heart ![]() Oh man, this is rubbish.Įvery song gets the fade treatment. You Are the OneĪ nice little 80s beginning. They sure do fade a ton of songs in this album during the outro. Starting to get the feeling that Slaughter got the record deal on Fly To The Angels and they husted to write Up All Night to not be a one hit wonder. Not exactly You Give Love A Bad Name here though. Much better than Mad About You and Gave Me Your Heart. Maybe the highest note ever recorded?Ģ:52 talking breakdown. You can grasp the angst in the "Still I Driiiiiiiive, Downnnnnn this lonely, lonely road!"įly to the Angels really is a good tune. It's not the guitar work, not the rhythm section. This whole band is based on his ability to shred vocally. Mark Slaughter's normal voice is higher than ' falsetto by an octave or three. Fly to the AngelsĮffortless is how high notes must be for him. Wouldn't cut it at the Double Deuce though. Let's be honest, if it's the girl from the album cover, then spend my money! She wants more more more? Who the hell is he dating, Mony Mony? This is cyber-stalking before the actual internet. Literally calls her out like a rapper, "She's going shopping on you." He's even calling her out for her choice of credit card and location. Girl spending your money? Easiest way to my heart. Mark Slaughter could narrate a child's funeral in falsetto and I'd offer him a standing ovation. "Defendant Slaughter, you may proceed quickly to chorus land. "Your honor, you're right, we got nothing for the second verse". It's the continuance without a finding of songwriting. Gotta love the single line into the pre-chorus move. Wait, this got a video!? Chrysalis must have money to blow. Just how does "My Country 'Tis of Thee" make a cameo here!? Spend My Life Awake all night to party and sleeping all day is what the 80s were all about. The effects on the drum kit subconciously command you to raise your fists in during the chorus. Up All NightĬomputer sounds! I'm ok with bands hugely singing their chorus to start a song, even if it feels a bit in the wrong place. Typical Mark Slaughter talking over music to weirdly address the audience. The more I listen, the more I'm convinced that this is the best thing you can take away from the album.ĭecent lyrics. Might be the most succinct hair metal tune ever. Actual, better than ok compared to a ton of other tunes. Reminds me of Lay Your Hands On Me (Jovi) with the riff. What's hilarious is that they made like Star Wars on the album cover and got the Target Girl, 1988 Playboy Cover Model, Laurie Carr to strike a pose while they set up a miniature in the background. What's more, it doesn't appear on the follow up to Stick It To Ya, The Wild Life. ![]() Not long after the album's release, the song appeared on the Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey Soundtrack. Interesting note, Todd Cooper played the horns on the album.Īnother interesting thought, always wondered if Shout It Out was a B-side of Stick It To Ya. In fact, they found platinum twice, as Stick It To Ya is a RIAA-certified Double Platinum album. He and writing/producing partner/bandmate Dana Strum did find some 80s hair metal gold though. Mark Slaughter, Sylvan God of Owl-kind gets vocally atmospheric on Stick it to Ya. ![]()
