Vince f***in' Neil has never apologised to the rest of the band, according to Andy McCoy. Unfortunately, Razzle was killed within months of it's release. This major label debut should've launched them into the big time. "The album marked Hanoi at their overall peak, perhaps less charming than on, for example, '82's Self Destruction Blues, but brimming with confidence, surrounded by good help, thick, muscular, adequately in tune with their essence to refrain from dishing what could have been an overflow of heavy metal." ( Martin Poppoff (opens in new tab))ĭavid Heaton: Great album from one of the best live bands I've ever seen. "The record was paced well, shot like a cannon with joyous lead single Up Around The Bend, written by Creedence Clearwater Revival (lone alternate choice: Bad Moon Rising by the same band), spilling into the hard rock of High School, eventually into the torrid and florid traditional balladry of Million Miles Away and Don't You Ever Leave Me (a remake of a track from the band's '80 debut) and back out again with the hard rock of Boiler and Cutting Corners. "In terms of combining the attitude, gang shouts, punk energy, and classic rock burn of the band, things couldn't be better - Monroe sounds phenomenal, the McCoy/Suicide guitar team comes up with some great riffs and even better trade-offs, and the Yaffa/Razzle rhythm section keep it all chugging."
