A shambolic cover of the Sweet's "Ballroom Blitz" (which didn't sound all that great in its original version) is especially painful, and tepid rockers like "Out to Lunch" and "Hot Stuff" simply fail to excite. Still, "Midnite Maniac" was arguably the band's best single ever, and "Our Love" their most accomplished power ballad so far. Other cuts like "Rock the Nation" and "Out of Control" actually show some promise, but with clichéd titles like these, how could they ever expect to stand out? Overall, The Blitz.
Album Name The Blitz.
Album · 1984 · 9 Songs. If working with producer Tom Allon had transformed 1983’s Headhunter into a work of unadulterated metal, then 1984’s The Blitz was Krokus’ attempt to sweeten its hard rock sound for the pop charts. The group hired Bruce Fairbairn, a Canadian producer who'd struck gold with Loverboy and would later work with Bon Jovi and Aerosmith. The result was an LP of sweet pop-metal tunes like Midnite Maniac, Boys Nite Out, and Ready to Rock
