W.A.S.P. "The Last Command"

On this day (November 9, 1985), W.A.S.P. released their second studio album entitled "The Last Command."  I was a bit unsure of the release date of this album as most sources say that it was released today, whereas others say it was in late October, but does it really matter?  W.A.S.P. kicks ass!  The album is more or less a "stand up" to the PMRC (Parents Music Resource Center) who declared war on bands and artists that used violent, vulgar, and sexually explicit lyrics in their music.  This album was W.A.S.P.'s first album to sell over a million copies certifying it Platinum.  This is also W.A.S.P.'s highest charting album in the U.S.  It reached No. 47 on the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart in early 1986.  This was also the first album to feature Tony Richards' replacement, Steve Riley on drums and was the last W.A.S.P. album to feature co-founding member Randy Piper on guitar.  After riding off the success of their self-titled album, W.A.S.P. decided to take a different direction with this album.  Bassist and lead singer Blackie Lawless stated in an interview that he played about 14 different instruments on this album.  The opening song "Wild Child," was originally written by Blackie to give to Motley Crue because him and Nikki Sixx were friends, but Nikki felt that the song was out of Vince Neil's vocal range.  The song "Cries In The Night," is a remake version of the song "Mr. Cool," a song that Blackie used to play in his old bands called Sister and Circus Circus.  "Sex Drive" is also a song that Blackie used to play in Sister.  My favorite songs off this album are "Widowmaker," "Blind In Texas," and "The Last Command."  I also own this album on cd, cassette, and vinyl.  What are your favorite songs off the album?  Do you own the album?  Were you able to buy it when it came out?  Did you like/dislike it?
