Steelheart's 1990 debut exploded with Miljenko Matijevic's insane vocals – but did the ballads overshadow the sleaze, or is this a forgotten '90 gem?
In this full album review, I break down the history, standout tracks (and skips), singles/chart success, MCA label drama, production, and my honest verdict – worth the hype or better left to the ballads?
If you love '90s hair metal, insane vocalists, or underrated debuts, this one's for you!
