Its really good. Thick and powerful production. Good tracks and a killer cover of R.Stones Its only RnR.

Ive listened to this one a few times now. ITS a superb cd. Id give it 9,5/10. If this had been released in 1989 it would have been a smash.

Very Good cd!, they sound like a direct cross between Brinty Fox and Cinderella. Awesome stuff!, this cd has a real very late 80's/early 90's party hard rock feel to it and I agree that if this cd was released in '89 they would have been a huge hit.

What a head-ripper-off-er!! This isn't the Tony Mills version of Shy, but a different animal altogether. Don't expect soaring high vocals but more of a party rock sound closer to Y&T or Sleeze Beez's 'Powertool'. MASSIVE production to boot and wait till you hear 'Crazy Crazy' & 'Girls Like You'!! Holy crap-my-pants... I thought this band would be nothing without Tony Mills. Boy was I wrong! This is a must-have. It will take you a few seconds to adjust to the different style, but not much longer.

this is absolutely one of SHY`s best records...along with 'excess'. A must for all who loves melodic hard rock.

Just got this one but with a differnt cover plus 13 tracks...Hmmm What version is that??? Great hardrock though...It should have had more attention...

I like Terry Mills very much but i think this version of SHY is at least equal.......Wardi is great singer....

This was my first SHY album and I LOVE it from start to finish! To tell the truth, when I got the other SHY releases, I was SO disappointed....I was expecting the same raspy voice, and it wasn't. Guess it pays to read the line up, eh?? This one is by far my favorite. If anyone has any further information on Wardi, I would love to hear it!

english band playing american hard rock!...aint that funny? but... hang on! this really kicks some serious ass,great hooks & excellent production makes this cd a real winner!!.

Huge melodic hard rock. Much heavier than previous Shy, but such an awesome sound. I like all the songs on this one and rate it very high. Huge hooks, awesome songs. Great stuff!

Welcome To The Madhouse - is definately one of SHY's best albums But almost a different band. Changing vocalist with such a different voice does this and there was a change of writing approach. I love Tony Mills - SHY - but in it's own right this album is just full of great tunes and a great production by Neil Kernon (Excess All Areas). One of the most consistent/excellent albums I've heard - Wardi kicks ass in a more rock n roll style

One of the best hard rock/glam releases ever heard!!but it's too far from the Shy's kind of music..The Shy's masterpiece is"excess all areas",maybe one of the best cd ever heard before!!By the way,the original press of this cd is "Granite records"....

I like this CD the best of all of them; they should've kept Wardi.

Yes, this is not the same Shy sound as on Excess all areas, but nevertheless it's a killer album! Production is once again super (after the disappointing Misspent youth whose fantastic songs! Roy Thomas Baker destroyed with a terrible mix!) and the songs are really cool. Great album for sure. Drums sound awesome! Together with Excess all areas and Unfinished business, this is the best recording Shy ever made! Highly recommended.

Always hated the Stones' but the cover sounds good with John on vox.highly recommended .

This video also includes songs off the CD ("Parasite", which is the 1st song on the CD + "What Would Your Daddy Do")

Man, get the ripped jeans on, put the dice on the mirror, fuel up the Firebird & rock on down the highway with the speakers blasting out this killer hair metal.

wow!! great stuff by the shy guys even without tony mills. man, i would call it their best to date! they americanised their sound and the result is a great melodic up tempo hard rock. a big surprise. excellent!!

This album is simple a KILLERRRR ALBUMMM!!!...Wardi is a hell of a singer!!!and all the songs of the album are simple amazing!!!(this case reminded me of Accept with that famous "Eat The Heat",i mean,new singer,not being the original ones(Tony Mills in Shy/Udo in Accept) but doing a great job-in Accept's case was david Reece)anyway..."Parasite" simply rocks brutally,"Crazy Crazy" is just about the same,"It's Only Rock 'n' Roll" is way 2 cool,"Tonight You're Mine" is a solid ballad,"Girls Like You" has a catchy chorus,"Angel" rocks 2,"Don't Know Why I Love You" is raunchy Rock'n' Roll ala The Quireboys,"Who Do You Think You Are" is ala Warrant kinda stuff and "Somebody" closes in a rocky and catchy way...great album indeed!!!.100/100.
