METALEATER.COM - Album Reviews - Kick Axe - Kick Axe IV (853 words)
KICK AXE is arguably one of Canada's finest hard rock acts from the 80's era.
Having been a KICK AXE fan in the '80s, I remember being somewhat disappointed when they disbanded, and I had always hoped that there would be some sort of a reunion at some point.
However, the rest of the album is pretty much a lot of the same kind of slow to mid-paced average-sounding material, which really did not grab me as much as the other songs.
