    Love this series. Still need Earthshaker and Struck Down to complete my vinyl up through Contagious. Just saw Ten in a used record store for $70 U.S. Couldn’t pull the trigger at that price.😢

    When I bought this album in 1983 II was so blown away by the opening mean streak riff, that I would pick up the needle and restart it again. Must have done that about 10 times before I let the song play all the way through. Can’t tell you how many times standing in a line and that opening riff starts playing in my head. It is permanently in my DNA. Also when you were talking about when sentiment fool was written, I remember seeing a video of a show in 1980 where they played it live, so it was written for the Earthshaker album but not used. I recall hearing that the record company wanted it used for Mean Streak so they could potentially release it as a single, but they never did release it, so that is why it seems a little out of place on the album. Long live Y&T who have continued to be my favorite band for the past 40 years!

    Legendary group. Dave is still a phenonmenal guitarist and vocalist. He hasnt lost an iota of his fire and talent. Nothing diminshed. R.I.P to Leonard, Phil amd Joey.
    I bought Mean Streak and Black Tiger on cassete the same day back in 1983. Been a fan ever since.

    My Favorite Y&T album! A definite 10/10! There could have been multiple singles, Sentimental Fool should have been the second single.
    Midnight In Tokyo and Lonely Side Of Town (my favorites!) could have been follow up singles/videos in my opinion. The production and
    performances are the best so far. And for me personally, I would have redone the running order (which I have done on cassette back in
    the day) and added the leftover track I'm Not Sorry on there. Plenty of room for that song, and then this album for me will be a 11/10!!! lol!
    A&M surely dropped the ball with band and especially this album! Perfect album at a perfect time for me and by far their best yet!

    Another great show Gentlemen! great points all around. and I love when Tim said he felt Y&T were too good for party rockers!
    totally agree with that! but Y&T were known for this kind of song like Down And Dirty for me it's ok. Can't wait for the next episode!

      Max produced some great albums. Thunder in the East, Delirious Nomad, Visual Lies, a few of those strong Megadeth albums in the 90s, etc. If you write a book about Max, let me know. I will contribute! Ha! 😃
