I've known about the band for years and years and I've listened to a few songs, but I never actually listened to an album until a couple weeks ago, which was
Wild Cat. I see it as being like a 2nd rate version of Iron Maiden's first two albums. When they were at their best they could compete with that band, but in general they just didn't have the songwriting chops. The best songs on that album all seemed to be rerecorded version of "Euthanasia", which is a fantastic song, but I can definitely see why US left them off the list last year.
Jess Cox was definitely the superior vocalist though. He may not have been as good a singer, but he was better at impersonating Paul DiAnno than the other guy was at impersonating Bruce Dickinson.
