‘Walkin’ The Razor’s Edge’, originally released in 1984, marks a step up for the band in terms of both production and song content. Tracks such as ‘Young And Wreckless’, ‘When The Hammer Falls’, ‘Animal House’ ‘Rock You’ (written by Bob Halligan Jr.) and a genuine Canadian hit single in ‘(Make Me Do) Anything You Want’, showcase a band revved up and ready to rock, taking it to the people with endless road work.
Reevaluating this album 25 years down the road, one is immediately struck by the bands penchant for keeping the energy level firmly in the red zone. History may have dictated that other acts of a similar nature may have out sold Helix, few, however, made music of such lasting quality.
