album review

As was the case with Prince's notorious Black Album, the hype surrounding this controversial debut four-track EP from W.A.S.P. far outweighed the title track's offensive content or musical merits. At least it served to make this release a collector's item, though, which sold thousands of copies via mail order throughout the '80s. Musically speaking -- the interesting cover of Mountain's "Mississippi Queen" aside -- both "Animal (F**k Like a Beast)" and "Show No Mercy" would have fit snuggly on W.A.S.P.'s debut album, and "Hellion" actually made the cut. The infamous "Animal" is now also featured on the band's 1993 career retrospective, First Blood...Last Cuts. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide
