REVIEW: Except for the two tracks (5&6), a tolerable album. One great track (Don't Cry), another good one (Knockin' on Heaven's Door cover) offset by a few mediocre ones (Civil War, Yesterdays, You Could Be Mine). Those round out the tracks I know. It gets a 0.

COMMENT: What happened to these guys? I think I know. I remember clearly when I first heard them on tv. I thought they were the saviors of heavy metal/hard rock. Talk about stars burnin and then buring out rather quickly.
