"Take it Off" with King Kobra 3rd effort. by Jake Ruiz
This I would consider their 2nd best album. There's 9 tracks 7 of them really rock your brains out. Also SUPER RARE if you can find it and can afford it buy it. Like I said if your a collector of the 80's music this is a must have

King Kobra strikes Back with a bite!
On this the third and final offical King Kobra release.There is many reasons to rate this their best album.Although their first one was good also.This one has good musicianship all around.Armed with 2 new guitarists and a new singer these boys are better than ever.1. Mean St.Machine(8/10)Dam good rocker, with cool guitar work!2. Take it Off(9/10)Another solid track,The lyrics are great and very good vocals and guitar work on this one.3. Walls of Silence(10/10)My favorite off this cd.The chorus rocks, and the guitar riffs crunch with energy.Great Metal Anthem4.Legends never Die(6/10)Slow song on the cd.Not great, but has a decent guitar solo!5.Redline(7/10)Decent Rocker,nothing special though.Fans will appericate this track!6.Burning in Her Fire(7/10)Good Track, nice rhythm guitar work!7.Perfect Crime(8/10)Very Good track,smoking guitar work, Good vocals!8.It's my Life(9/10)Reworking of a Wendy Williams song written by Kiss.Very good song and these guys do a great cover.9.#1(5/10)This song never appealed to me.But different tastes will disagree!If you liked the filler on Kobra's first album you'll like this.Overall this album is worth buying.If it's only 18 bucks or less pick it up.It's very rare and lovers of 80's metal will appreciate this album.I liked it!Thsi prime 80's metal is better than any of that crap that's out there today, so do your self a favor and purchase this cd.Keep Rockin the 80's!

国内リマスター盤でのリリースを願う
長らく入手困難であったキング・コブラの3rdアルバム(1988年作)がドイツのメタル・レーベルMetalvilleから目出度く再発。収録曲はオリジナル通り9曲入りでボーナス・トラックは無し。パッケージはデジパック仕様、付属として英歌詞カードが付いている。肝心の音質については、1999年に出た「The Lost Years」収録曲の音源と聴き比べると明らかに音圧が低く、リマスター感はゼロ。2018年の再発盤ということで、期待していただけに残念! 2012年に本作と再結成第1弾作「ハリウッド・トラッシュ」(2001年)の曲を収録した編集盤「Legends Never Die」の方は、リマスター仕様ということだが、未購入のため、実際のところ今回の再発盤音源と違いがあるのか不明。どなたか違いが判る方がいれば教えていただきたい。キング・コブラのオリジナル・アルバムの中で唯一国内盤で発売されていないのは本作のみ。ちょうどこの時期に1stと2ndの国内盤が期間限定の廉価版で再発されている状況を考えると、どこのレーベルでも良いから、この機会に乗じて本作を国内リマスター盤で発売してもらいたいものである。
