Probably the best album from sadly defunct hard-rockers Kix. Never overwhelmingly popular, their only major hit (the anti-suicide ballad "Don't Close Your Eyes") is on this album. It's a radical departure from most of their material, which consisted mainly of good-time, party-on pop metal infused with genuine smarts and affection for the music. Hailing from Maryland, they incorporated the L.A. glam style into their music while maintaining a grittier edge that owed a good deal to AC/DC. This mix serves them very well on songs like "Get It While It's Hot," "Cold Blood," "Boomerang," "Dirty Boys," and the title track. With considerably more substance than most 1980s pop metal, this album holds up much better than its contemporaries. --Genevieve Williams

4 out of 5 stars Underrated band, Good songs but bad production .......2006-08-01

Blow My Fuse is a good album but not great. Listening to it recently I think it really could have been a great one. Kix had a lot of talent with great songs and great guitar work. Lead singer Steve Whiteman sounds like a cross in-between Axl Rose and Brian Johnson which fits the band very well. Kix was one of the more underrated bands of the hair metal scene of the 80's early 90's. If they had better management and production this could have been superstars. I remember seeing the band live around 1991 or 1992 and the album doesn't capture the band at all.

The album does have some great hooks on it. Epically on the tracks "Blow My Fuse", "Cold Blood" & Get It While It's Hot". The bad areas are Jimmy Chalfant's weak drumming (similar to Fred Coury of Cinderella) and the horrible production. I don't think he was a bad drummer personally, I just think it goes back to the production of the album.

I wish they would have re-recorded this album to make it more up to date like Bulletboys did with the Burning Cats...CD. The production of this album is very 80's and sounds very dated. There's too much unnecessary echo on Steve Whiteman's vocals on every song. If the vocals would have been left alone it would have sounded raw, like Axl on Appetite.

I also think there's too much synthesizer on the album. There biggest hit was "Don't Close Your Eyes" which is a great song but I always find myself skipping into the "meat" of the song due to the lame synthesizer intro.

I never quite understood then album cover either. I know it's an electrical transformer but it's kind of cartoonist and looks stupid. It's bad enough the band had the same name as a kids cereal but the horrible album cover I think had a lot to do with there downfall.

For all the problems you still should still pick it up.

5 out of 5 stars UNDERRATED.......2006-07-28

Let me just say this: If you put Steve Whiteman up against any other vocalist from the '80's metal genre you'd be able to seperate the men from the boys!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Guitar-driven sleaze rock.......2006-06-29

In listening to the history of Kix, from the Shooz to the Generators, this album is a bit of a musical departure for the band. Missing are the tongue-in-cheek euphemisms and naughty wordplay that is Kix's mantra. The band really cuts their teeth on edgy, gritty songs such as "Get it While it's Hot" and "Don't Close Your Eyes" (a HAVE TO HAVE ballad). You can't go wrong with this disc!

4 out of 5 stars Wow........2006-03-01

Okay, this really is not my favorite musical genre, but I must admit that this album did bring me some very genuine auditory pleasure.

5 out of 5 stars This band ROCKS and so does this cd!.......2006-02-26

While stationed in Japan a friend gave me a copied cassette version of this album/cd. Althought the release date is 1989, I had it in 1987?? Not sure how, he said he had a friend in the band. From the first time I listened to it I was hooked. After returning to the states in NC, I had the chance to see them live at The Attic in Greenville in 1988. What a show!! This album still ranks as a must have kick @ss disc for those of us that grew up in the era of hair metal and R&R. BUY IT!

            Album Description

            "Theme Composed by Jerry Goldsmith" Jericho was a WWII adventure series following three Allied specialists on secret missions throughout Europe. The theme and second episode were scored by Jerry Goldsmith in his military-suspense mode, replacing a theme by Lalo Schifrin who had scored the pilot. Goldsmith's theme and complete episode score are included on this CD, as are Schifrin's unused theme and a suite from his pilot score, significantly foreshadowing his music to Mission: Impossible. The remainder of Jericho was scored by Morton Stevens, Gerald Fried and Richard Shores, and suites from all of their episodes are included. The music recalls the style of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. but perhaps more grim. "Music Composed and Conducted by Johnny Williams" The Ghostbreaker was a one-hour pilot starring Kerwin Mathews as a parapsychologist investigator; although foreshadowing such television series as Kolchak: The Night Staker and The X-Files, it did not proceed to a series. The theme and pilot score to The Ghostbreaker were by none other than John (then "Johnny") Williams, who wrote a dynamite theme that compares favorably to his TV work for Irwin Allen, and a creepy score including harpsichord and solo soprano. The totality of Williams's score is included here -- a forgotten jewel by one of the world's most famous composers.
