Interesting series! Some people regarding their 2 80s albums it Won't Be Long (1988) and In Your Face(1989) like one more than the other. For me it's a bit of a toss up depending on my mood but wouldn't make #1 for neither year. One of the best albums released in the 80s on RCA records that weren't that popular in North America at least not on a massive scale like Stryper or Def Leppard is Joshua Intense Defense (1988). Not a bad song on the album. Rob Rock (Impellitteri, Angelica, MARS) does the vocals and Ken Tamplin is also involved.

To be clear the EZO album was produced by Gene Simmons and Val Garay as a co-production. Knowing Gene Simmons he bought his name onto it and Val Garay would've done the bulk of the true production duties. Garay had done many bands including The Warning by Queensryche.
