I bought Pyromania after buying Hysteria and having never listened to a track on it. I expected much of the same, but found it to be slightly heavier in it’s songs and there seemed to be more variety in the songs and their lyrics. The best songs are Too Late for Love and Rock of Ages. Listen to the beginning of Rock of Ages and you will see where the Offspring got some of their lyrics from in “Pretty Fly for a White Guy”. This was the last album that they release prior to drummer Rick Allen losing an arm in a road accident and maybe that’s why you can tell that it’s rockier than what they have done since. This album didn’t really hit the heights of the charts in the UK, but it managed to get to number 2 in the US, only beaten by Michael Jackson’s Thriller. If heavy metal of the 80’s is your scene then I would highly recommend adding this to your record collection.
