My second favorite cd of all time! This concept album tells the story of the rise and fall of fictional Rock star, Johnathan Aaron Steel. From struggling for acceptance at home, through acheiving super stardom as a rock icon, only to realize that fame couldn't fill the void left by the absence of his mother's love. This album is beautifully written with the music expressing all of the emotion of the story that the lyrics are telling. Definitely W.A.S.P.s best work ever.

“If I could only stand and look in the mirror, would I see one fallen hero with a face like me? And if I scream, would anybody hear me? If I smash the silence, you'll see what fame has done to me…”
