About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

On W.A.S.P.'s sophomore effort, 1985's The Last Command, the band hired Quiet Riot producer Spencer Proffer to man the boards, resulting in a slightly more accessible sound than their rugged self-titled debut. Although the album wasn't the massive commercial breakthrough the band had hoped for, it resulted in their second gold-certified release in a row as they became one of the more popular metal bands of the mid-'80s (touring heavily with the likes of Kiss, Black Sabbath, and Iron Maiden). Blackie Lawless' lyrics still relied heavily on sexual fantasies ("Sex Drive"), as well as tales of revenge ("Ballcrusher," "Jack Action"), and children of the street ("Running Wild in the Streets"). The album's two singles/videos proved popular on MTV's heavy metal-oriented shows -- the party-hearty "Blind in Texas" and "Wild Child," the latter a tale of a Harley-riding free spirit. [The 1998 CD reissue nearly doubled the original album's length, featuring a cover of Mountain's early-'70s hit "Mississippi Queen," the original B-side "Savage," and five live tracks recorded at England's Lyceum in October of 1984: "On Your Knees," "Hellion," "L.O.V.E. Machine," "Animal," and "I Wanna Be Somebody."] Greg Prato, All Music Guide

November 22, 2009: Another five-star early work by an underappreciated band. The collection plays a great theme tightly, start to finish. The extra live performances add even more value and include very good recordings of the concert experience. WASP is one of my favorite bands to launch from the 1980s, and I like a lot of different kinds of rock. My favorite CD collections usually have BL's vocals paired with CH's guitar. Rhythm is consistently excellent and innovative, without diluting the band's signature characteristics.

March 11, 2003: Well, full of classic songs. This Band is tough! Songs about sex and violence! This album is full of rock'n'roll. Most track tell about Texas and 'the good old West'.
