W.A.S.P. - The Last Command (1985)

Metal Storm: "Throughout this album there is a great mixture of fun, sleazy party-hard songs such as "Blind in Texas" and "Sex Drive," great fist pumping chant-along anthems such as "The Last Command" and "Running Wild in the Streets," a ballad like "Cries in the night," and even something that very few so called "hair metal" bands could achieve: an epic, which is the track "Widowmaker." It shows such a great combination of straightforward rock n roll with deeper more grandiose songs which is why I think this album is the pinnacle for Blackie & the boys.But whose to forget possibly the most famous song off the album (if not the entire W.A.S.P. career) "Wild Child," in which Blackie proves to be one of the most talented vocalists in metal. This song was originally written by Blackie to be performed by Motley Crue, but Vince didn't have the range to handle such a song."
