Here Baz sounds like he just walked in from 1992 with the follow-up to Slave To The Grind that's how classic and powerful he sounds here. The first two tracks are heavy rockers that really continue in form from 1991 but then a bit of a modern element breaks through on "Tunnel Vision" that has a wicked grind giving way to Sebastian's pitch perfect wail. The very street sleaze that his former band was famous for is present everywhere on Kicking & Screaming which gives the album all sorts of cred in my opinion. Now the album isn't close to perfect and that is present at the halfway point and it does lack some of the more catchy and inspired moments Baz has had in years past.
The song "As Long As I Got The Music" is a pretty upper level tune and he sounds fantastic on the track. This is probably the albums best tune or shall I say most accessible tune that is more what I mean. The bump and grind of "Dirty Power" has enough groove and grit to be a worthy mention and recommendation for a listen. The album has some real aggressive rockers and a nice mid-paced tune "Wishin'" that has all the chops. Overall this is a decent work for Sebastion Bach and hopefully the follow-up won't take forever again.
