Product Description
Here's your chance to see how BOMB out-snots the best of 'em as if he's Johnny Rotten in a blender with AEROSMITH (circa ROCKS) on the mighty opener "SST" (and yes, that's JIMMY CRESPO on lead guitar here!). BOMB even out-dudes BOWIE with his version of "ALL THE YOUNG DUDES" (much better than ANGEL's attempt in 1980, at least!)... not to mention the organically "cooler-than-you" power-pop cockyness of "SHAPE OF THE WORLD" as well as the depth of the mood swing street ballad entitled "You'll Never Know". Great, great, cool stuff! How this album didn't cut through the fey redundancy of "heavy metal" as it existed in 1985 is beyond me (perhaps the enclosed "I Want My Heavy Metal" single actually sold this album short... the entire work is much cooler than that title implies!).

Jimmy Crespo is great on this album, and for those who don't know he replaced Joe Perry in Aerosmith for the Night In The Ruts (uncredited) and Rock In A Hard Place albums. If you never gave it a chance, Rock In A Hard Place is GREAT! Try it out sometime.

I can't believe they mention Crespo but not Cliff Williams, bassist for AC/DC, who plays on it also.

After Adam Bomb, the only time I ever saw Jimmy Crespo was when he played in Billy Squier's band on The Arsenio Hall Show doing "Don't Say You Love Me." Hall came out to greet Squier and the band and I recognized Crespo right away.

He seems to have pretty much faded into obscurity.

I didn't realize anyone outside of Seattle had ever heard of him! He was known here for TKO.
