About the ArtistTrixter was a feel-good, hard rock group.  Some people might have labeled them as heavy metal, but they're really hard rock.  There is much more music to their songs than heavy metal bands would have, which just carry out a same, basic beat.  In 1990, Trixter came out with their self-titled debut album which is really quite good.  The cover is very interesting, because it looks like the cover of a superhero comic book!  I enjoy the whole album, but the songs I feel should be on a greatest hits compilation would have to be the following:

Line of Fire
Give it to me Good
Bad Girl
Ride the Whip

    As I said, I enjoy all 12 of the songs on this album, but the four mentioned above are the best of the best.  Trixter has a way of even starting out every song as a winner.  They don't drag things out like some groups...they get right into the meat of it.  The guitar work is really powerful as well as intricate thanks to Steve Brown.  Mark "Gus" Scott is a colossal drummer.  It sounds like a giant beating larger-than-life drums in the back of every song.  P.J. Farley's a fine bassist and compliments everything nicely.  Peter Loran, the lead singer, has one of those great 1980s metal voices, although the songs it's applied to is a nice change of pace from most 80s rocker albums.
