AMG Review of Hardware
Andy Hinds
All Music GuideKrokus' generic, by-the-numbers approach to '80s hard rock isn't particularly well represented here (the band would reach its apex on 1983's Headhunter), although there are a few good songs -- the album's opening and closing tracks, "Burning Bones" and "Celebration," respectively, are its best, and the steely allad "Winning Man" (later virtually rewritten as "Screaming in the Night") is worthwhile. But stinkers like "Smelly Nelly" are just inexcusable.
