The record reflects a style commonly characterised as "hair metal" or "[[glam metal]]", a form of heavy metal which hashad its foundations on the East Coast (and, in particular, the sound of [[New York City]] band [[KISS (band)|KISS]]), but which was transplanted to the West Coast, and in particular, the [[Sunset Strip]] in [[Los Angeles, California]], in the mid to late 1980s. Although stylistically similar to Poison’s debut album ''[[Look What the Cat Dragged In]]'', the record contained stronger song writing and improved production.
