Does that high-pitched wail sound familiar? Well, odds are if you're reading this, you should know it. For
Vinnie's second album, good ol'
Mark Slaughter (who would soon -- with
Invasion bassist
Dana Strum -- form the even more successful and creatively named hair metal band
Slaughter) takes over vocals from the departed
Robert Fleischman, and while his high-pitched wails are a bit hard to take, his vocals give this record a bit more consistency than the debut. Outside of that it's kinda just more of the same. Unfortunate for
Mr. Vincent given his obvious talents, this sort of "metal" that somehow thrived from 1985-1990 (or so) wasn't the type of rock that was open to too much experimentation. So what you get here is a pretty run-of-the-mill hair rock album: rockers, ballads, solos, etc.
