[edit] Notes

The album peaked at No. 63 on the Billboard Pop Album Charts and sold about 400,000 copies. Two singles were released: "Boyz Are Gonna Rock" and "Back on The Streets" but a music video was only made for "Boyz Are Gonna Rock". The song "Animal" appeared on the soundtrack for the movie Summer School. The band opened for Alice Cooper in 1987 to support the record.

In the video for "Boyz Are Gonna Rock," the singer in the video is Mark Slaughter rather than the actual singer, Robert Fleischman. Apparently, Fleischman had left the band prior to filming the video and Mark Slaughter ended up lip synching to Fleischman's vocals.

The song "Invasion" (for the CD and audio cassette versions) contained about three full minutes of looping guitar feedback at the end of the song. The record version had this same feedback at the end, but the difference was that it never ended until you picked up the needle! This was because the sound went all the way to the end of the vinyl, causing the needle to loop it over and over again.
