Didn't think I'd like it but I was actually surprised to be treated to a mostly reflective ballad that didn't sound anything like the Motorhead that I knew. The additions of Slash and Ozzy only make it better. The chord progression sounds very similar to Knockin' On Heaven's Door, but I guess that can be forgiven. 7.8/10

Not a bad AOR rock song....sung well but no hooks for me....7/10....apparently this 'guy' sang for King Cobra then became Marcie Free (transgender) and was in another band as well as solo lps.

One from an obscure US early proto metal band....sought after by collectors on old vinyl.

Yeah, that's right. I think under slightly different circumstances and a little more luck, Mark/Marcie could have been the greatest singer in the AOR/Melodic Rock genre. The voice was powerful and very expressive.

Very powerful song! I like riffs, thunder drums and rough vocals (a bit in Bachman-Turner Overdrive style). 9/10.

9/10 .Turbo is a great album. Different, but not that much. Good songs,great guitar solos. it sounds incredible, listenable, innovative and original then, and it's a very important album in their discography.
