Highlights:
Are You Ready?

This shouldn’t be classified this way. I mean it should but Girlschool should be more of a METAL band than an edgy version of Heart. Which is what this sounds like. I get covering Kiss’ “Do You Love Me?”, its a good cover for a band like Heart. But Girlschool…weren’t they harder than this? I mean, at this point Betty Blowtorch could’ve kicked their ass. Except that Bianca Butthole is dead. But, when she was alive, her band was twice the band Girlschool is here. This is an attempt to commercialize this group with a replacement lead singer and a new guitarist and they sound like watered down Crue. 
Go listen to The Donnas instead.
