"With a great deal of style and music ability the boys of Y&T have written performed and produced what should be a critically acclaimed work of art. taking on many topics from women to tossing off and cyber trolers who bash the band on their own website Meniketti Kennimore and Nyman have written a classic rock album that no serious fan can live without. The leads are great the melodies are great the lyrics are edgy this is simply the best work Y&T has done since their best selling in rock we trust cd download it today and don't forget the bonus tracks. Guitar god Dave Meniketti has shown the band still has it in their 37th year dont pass this one buy"
Just keep getting better!!

"Y&T's new album is smoking! I agree with most of what everyone
said that this is real rock & roll and it's ashame more people
don't know what a great band this is! I flew from New Orleans
to LA & Chicago to see them 3x & it was worth it! This album
shows Menketti is one of the most overlooked vocalist/guitarist
ever in rock history! Songs like Shine On, I want your money &
Gonna Go Blind are Y&T classics but the entire album rocks!
Phil Kennemore continues to write great songs as always &
is also overlooked songwriter/bassist! Give credit to the
guitarist and drummer who have been with band for while &
fit in like the original members & keep the Y&T sound. Long
Live Rock & Roll!!! I hope they keep rocking until...forever!"
People who think this is mellow haven`t listened to this.

"I started listening to Y&t when they were Yesterday & today way back in 1977.Like most people my favorite cd`s were black tiger,mean streak & earthshaker.I also liked there first two Yesterday and today cds.But there last several disc`s were not even close to the early 80`s stuff so i lost interest in the band.I saw the cover of the new cd and the name caught my interest so i listened to the sound clips.Wow,what a great surprise.THIS CD ROCKS FROM START TO FINISH.Do you remember how you use to feel when you got a great rockin disc back in the 80`s and there would be alot of solo`s,and you would find yourself getting goosebumps.Well this is the best cd Y&T has put out since 1983.Give it a chance,if you liked early Y&T,you will love it."
Excellent! rockn roll!!
