Paul Stanley from Kiss is quoted as saying: ""Welcome To The Wasteland" is an absolute knockout and the best album I've heard in ages. A killer, cohesive album of great rock and bombastic production that has been sorely missing. Every track is a winner and Bad City raises the bar out of most band's reach. It's really that good." ^[4]
