Limited numbered 180gm pressing. Remastered by Mobile Fidelity. Vinyl comes in special static and dust free inner sleeve. You wanna rock. And rock is what Twisted Sister does without compromise on Stay Hungry, an album that soon after it's release became a leading symbol in the much-controversial fight against the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC). Filled with good, clean fun, hard-rock ferocity, and laser-focused purpose, the triple-platinum effort receives deluxe treatment befitting one of the most iconic records of the 1980s courtesy of Mobile Fidelity. Mastered from the original master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, strictly limited to 3,000 numbered copies, and issued in honor of the record's 35th anniversary, the audiophile label's reissue of Twisted Sister's signature work arrives custom-made for turning up the volume, letting your hair down, and embracing a freedom connected with carefree summers. If you've forgotten the instant emotional rush that comes from the sheer power of blustery guitar chords, in-your-face percussion, and the rousing menace of no-holds-barred vocals, Stay Hungry will instantly remind you there's no substitute for raise-your-fist-and-yell energy. Equally important, Mobile Fidelity's analog version proves the music goes well beyond the intentionally cartoonish humor of the popular MTV-aired videos associated with the hit songs.

Their Best and awarded as such!
The band remains one of the best original glam bands of the early and mid-80s. Dee Snider took the band in all new directions when he joined, aka No New Your Dolls anymore. MTV made its name on the still-relevant video for We're Not Gonna Take It, and it was this that spawned the Explicit Lyrics stickers that had teens salivating for them.Like hair metal? Like Motley Crüe, Poison, or even GN'R (for a short time)? Well, listen to one of the first - Twisted Sister!

Wow.
This sounds fan-freakin-tastic. Blows away the MOV reissue I had previously. I've been listening to this album in one format or another since it was originally released and I had never noticed the buzzy sounding guitar overdub in the pre-chorus to the title track before listening to this. I don't particularly LIKE said buzzy sounding overdub, but the fact that I could pull that out of the mix really speaks to the detail on display here. Superb.

This may be their best album, period
This may be their best album, period. It may have taken the band a few albums to refine their sound and lyrics, but I have enjoyed this album the best. Few bands can write and perform a generational rock anthem while still delivering satisfying music to their fans. Twisted Sister gave us several anthems on this album while rocking our socks off our collective feet. Dee Snider is a legend and may never receive his full worth because he and the band are from the metal genre. However, that does not bely the fact that the guy can write inspiring lyrics and the band can come in and deliver some amazing music. "Stay Hungry" and "We're Not Gonna Take It" are two anthems that every generation needs to hear, receive, and embrace. The lyrics are simple, powerful, and vital to anyone who feels they are the underdogs. They inspire us to dig deep and be come the force we are, by God.

If you can afford it, MOFI is the way to go.
