One song really sums up what 400 Horses are all about - "That's What I Like". The lyrics proclaim - "That's what I like, no doubt about it. That's what I like, just Rock n Roll! ". 400 Horse take the attitude of GnR, add the swagger of Aerosmith and the bluesy feel of Little Caesar.

Opener "Guilty As Sin" is an uptempo GnR-style blast. On "Too Close For Comfort" the band add the swagger of Aerosmith, albeit without quite the same air of confidence that Aerosmith have perfected over the years. "Is That What You Done" continues the theme. "Over & Done" lets a little bit more GnR creep in. The jangly funk guitar of "Information" adds a little variety to the formula and sees them almost get that Aerosmith swagger down to a tee. "Let It Go" is a straight ahead romp. "That's What I Like" is the band's take on Kiss's "God Gave Rock n Roll...". A party tune, that is simplistic but enjoyable. It's a close call, between it and "Information", but this gets my vote as the best tune on the album. "Wanna Make Love To You" is the tune which brought Little Caesar to mind. "Don't Give A Damn" sees the Kiss influence come back into play.

Sometimes you just want to listen to some straight forward party rock. 400 Horses are the band for that occasion. I would have liked the album to last a little longer than the 35 mins long playing time to help keep the VFM factor up.
