The 1985 Listening Post - Autograph - That's the Stuff

Autograph - That's the Stuff


#420/1055
October 1985
Autograph
That’s the Stuff
Genre: Hair Metal
2.25 out of 5


Last year’s first Autograph record called to mind the 2017 debut record by the Brooklyn band, Station. I loved both records. They were perfect examples of this genre done right.
And, just like Station’s sophomore record, this one is a big, flat, uninspired mess. 
This is a generic hair metal album that makes Kiss’ Lick It Up sound like a positive classic. 
Word of warning: Apple Music has this album listed as it’s original album release, with the cut “Six String Fever” instead of the cover “(We’re An) American Band”. However that track actually is the latter. It’s labeled incorrectly. Which just shows how much effort anyone put in to Autograph.
