Raw, powerful, uptempo, melodic, released back in 1982 - what can it be but
NWOBHM? If Riff Raff were from Birmingham or Barnsley, they couldn't prevent rise to stardom, but unfortunately this band failed to attract the attention of larger labels, never becoming well-known outside of their hometown Oulu.

Yes, Riff Raff were not inventive, they used the same formulae as bigger metal
acts, but their music is easily comparable to the best albums of that era. Don't forget, it was the time of "Screaming For Vengeance", "Number Of The Beast" and "Restless And Wild". This records combines the elements of all of them along with partying feel of Saxon and unique sound of "Creatures Of The Night" (I can't imagine that "Breaking Out" is NOT written by Gene Simmons or Vinnie Vincent). And there is no filler there (leave alone short instrumental "Snow Lake"), only the songs that could become successful singles if were released by an English, at least German band.

The quality of record is impressive. The sound is clean, guitars are sharp, all
is precise without being too technical. Vocalist sometimes reminds me Paul
Di'Anno, but Maiden's frontman never reached such diversity. He almost copies Halford on "Don't You Think It's Disgusting", at some points he could be easily mistaken for Udo Dirkshneider. Can't say anything special about musicians, they just do their part of work with skill and emotion. Seems like these guys from Finland can't play bad even if they really want to do it.

But the record is not only technically well-done, the songwriting is great too.
No repetitiveness, no similar songs. I have no desire to describe the album
track-by-track, because I will soon run out of superlatives. Just know that is
the true masterpiece of raw melodic metal. Not that modern disco-influenced
"melodic power" with silly keyboards, but the real melodic stuff with catchy
tunes that are not going to get out of your head.

Record Collector Magazine Grading System

MINT The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
