<p>I see I’m the only one to reply so far…</p>
<p>I’ve never owned this album, and that’s a surprise to even me because of how much I love Rodgers and Page. But the single Radioactive never sat well with me and I could never pull the trigger on a purchase for that one reason.</p>
<p>There is an appeal to adding a New Wave flavor to the duo as well, but that opener also includes a horn section. Hmmm... That didn’t strike me well. I do love the guitar tone on Make or Break and I like that I can…</p>

I do love the guitar tone on Make or Break and I like that I can hear some Bad Company/Page-isms in the tunes as well, but I’d love to hear more Page influences in the form of solos.</p>
<p>That cover tune is not good!!! That came out of left field and threw the album off for me. Satisfaction Guaranteed sounds familiar since it was an Mtv thing but I don’t recall it being as successful as Radioactive. Kind of a droner actually. I did like the closer (not the opening track, but the last one – see what I did there?)</p>
<p>On paper a Rodgers/Page pairing sounds like a slam dunk, in reality I’m glad I steered clear of the album and band. Can’t wait to read what others have to say, me being the first and so-far only one to respond and all…</p> EH!

<p>EH!</p>
<p>That's what I thought of it then and that's what I think about it now. It sounds like a lot of these songs weren't really finished, just quickly thrown together, recorded and tossed onto whatever format there was. It's not bad, but it's not the powerhouse it shoulda been.</p>
