“AWRIIIIIGHT, UH ze WANGO ze TANGO! One, two, three, four!" Cue a wrecking ball intro as the band kick their heels into a riff that supports the theory that Ted Nugent was not about to hang up his gloves just because his contract with Epic records was at a close.

‘Scream Dream’ is generally regarded as Ted’s last truly great album. Switching labels and seeking a generally more thoughtful and less manic approach, Ted’s glory years were neatly book ended by this superb record, crafted with an equal measure of power and melody yet never once taking an eye off the big prise.

Crammed to the rafters with archetypical Nugent bluster, the album is a treasure trove of hidden, and not so hidden, gems including the title track, ‘Hard As Nails’, ‘Flesh & Blood’, ‘Spit It Out’ and the off the wall and totally unrehearsed lead-off track ‘Wango Tango’ which boasts one of Ted’s greatest, certainly wackiest raps.

Have no doubt, this is Nugent at his fire-brand best knocking six shades of sugar out of a songs and riffs that ought to have a mandatory place in every collection.”
