Reviewers Say:
“Laney not only knows how to make a disc sound like a million bucks, but he also knows how to write hooks you can’t escape… Whether it is the Leppard-esque “Get U Down” or the over the top anthem “Pissed At What Ya Missed”, Laney hits the bull’s eye.”Sleaze Roxx

“It has hooks galore, driving guitar solos, phenomenal songwriting and the magic touch of Laney & friends. This is a keeper!”Rock Eyez

“This opus hits the mark from the opening riff and just gets better and better. … if you like it loud, in your face and filled with layers of instrumentation and vocals… all bound in that Swedish/European delivery style – this is essential. Truly great production and some off-beat and original songwriting delivering something impressive for glam/sleaze hard rock fans all over the planet.”MelodicRock.com
