Background
[edit]The album was recorded at Amigo Studios in Los Angeles, California.[1]
Music
[edit]The album's style is described as pop metal.[2]
Artwork
[edit]Simon Young of Metal Hammer wrote: "With a well-proportioned torso, Alice Cooper's former guitarist is seen here navigating a city in chaos, armed with a flame-throwing, machine gun-shaped guitar. This lad is getting home in time for his dinner, no question about that."[1]
Critical reception and legacy
[edit]Whitney Z. Gomes of AllMusic gave the album two and a half stars out of five, and wrote: "The Kane Roberts debut mostly demonstrates why poodle pop-metal must forever fight for props. Look, a listener can grow to like anything, but this is flat, corporate hair without the hits, so be careful how much you shell out for Kane Roberts."[2] In 2023, Metal Hammer named the album as one of "the 50 most hilariously ugly rock and metal album covers ever."[1]
