Penetrator

Ted Nugent

A high-gloss collision of Detroit guitar muscle and mid-eighties radio polish. Synthesizers and big drums meet Nugent's signature Gibson Byrdland bite.

It's the Motor City Madman trying on an 80s power-suit and it actually kind of works.

A high-octane, commercial confidence that trades raw grit for eighties neon sheen.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The unexpected synth-brass hook that opens Tied Up in Love, signaling a departure from Nugent's raw seventies sound.
The bluesy, overdriven solo in Go Down Fighting that reminds the listener the Motor City Madman is still behind the fretboard.
The anthemic, multi-tracked vocal harmonies on the chorus of (Where Do You) Draw the Line.
