And for all the effort they put into making their appearance larger than life, they somehow find a way to make their music even more ridiculous, finding the reserves of strength necessary to make sure their albums are always over the top, a trend they continue with their sixth album, To Beast or Not to Beast. Though the album finds the band scaling back its '80s love, there's still plenty of rock \u0026amp; roll escapism for fans of the band to indulge in, and while serious metal fans might be turned off by its cartoonish qualities, those looking for some hard-rockin' fun will find what they're looking for here. ~ Gregory Heaney","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50078572871967,"sku":"654436031420","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/9760ae0a978ea340a8866944e6ed0c45.jpg?v=1777844941","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/to-beast-or-not-to-beast","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
