Scream Dream is the sixth studio album by American hard rock musician Ted Nugent. The album was released in June 1980 by Epic Records, and reached number 13 on the Billboard 200. It was his last studio album to feature drummer Cliff Davies.
The album-opening "Wango Tango" became an instant Nugent standard, including a humorous middle breakdown section in which he shows off with a carnival barker-esque rap. Other highlights include "Terminus El Dorado", the title track, and "Hard as Nails".
Tracks "Wango Tango" and "Scream Dream" were later included in the compilation album Playlist: The Very Best of Ted Nugent . [8]
Billboard's reviewer left positive response on an album. He wrote: "The aural mayhem created here could be made by no other person than Nugent. While he does nothing on this outing that he hasn't done before, he always does it with enough zest and relish to make his point come across. He continues in the well trod path of hook-laced heavy metal with blazing guitar licks and intentionally humorous lyrics." [9]
