Customer Reviews

One of their BEST, regardless of what others say!
Having been a Y&T fan since 1981, like many of you, I saw the progression from the hard rock metal sound of the first 4 A&M releases to a more polished and commercial sound, as found on Contagious. Regardless of the stylistic change found on this cd, this is one seriously great disc! As good as the the first 4 Y&T releases are, I am glad they shifted gears a bit. Who wants a band to make the same album several times (not that ANY of their albums sound the same)? Not me!

There are some high class rock songs (Fight For Your Life, Armed & Dangerous, Eyes Of A Stranger....actually, I really like the entire cd, with the exception of 'The Kid Goes Crazy'). The production is really good, the band are tight, Dave's voice and guitar playing are in amazing form (check out the solos on 'Fight', 'A&D', 'Eyes' and the AMAZINGLY soulful instrumental 'I'll Cry'...it does not get much better than this!), Jimmy's drumming is great, the songs are excellent. What more can you ask for? Do yourself a favor and check this cd out.

CONTAGIOUS ROCKS & MOVES NON STOP!!!!!
Oh my, what an album. I loved this when it first came out that I bought it on album and casette. Now I have it on album, casette, and cd. This cd here is if not the best Y&T cd then within the top 5. The opening track CONTAGIOUS rocks, I still remeber the video. Moving down the line of songs into THE KID GOES CRAZY was such a good party song, what rock was about in this time era, which I miss so much. Now moving into the last lyrical song of EYES OF A STRANGER and closing with I'LL CRY FOR YOU. I'd be surprised to hear that a Y&T fan doesn't have this cd. If you are a first time listener of Y&T, then this is the cd to have. It's great guitar work, drumming, and lyrics make this the Y&T album to have, so BUY IT!!!!

Y &T's last great album. This is their hair metal hurrah!
First off I like every Y&T album that was made before this, and this one is no exception.This is a good album if you like 80's metal.To put it simple if you like good music, this is a good album to buy.Y&T's Contagious album kicks the sh*t out of today's pussy whipped bands!
1.Contagious(10/10)Great song.Has a fun chorus that is obviously a concert sing a long favorite!
2.L.A. Rocks(7/10)Not bad.Good straight foward rocker!
3.Temptation(7/10)Good song.The guiatr riff is cool used in various section of this song.
4.The Kid goes Crazy(6/10)Does sound a bit like Van Halen's Hot for Teacher!
5.Fight for your Life(10/10)Excellent song.The guitar work will please everyone and the chorus sounds great here.Prime 80's metal!
6.Armed and Dangerous(10/10)Best song on the album.i love the lyrics and the guitar riffs are suberb.With music like this the 80's sound has got to come back!Just listen to that guitar solo in the middle!
7.Rhythm or Not(7/10)Decenet rocker.
8.Bodily Harm(7/10)keeps the pace moving.
9.Eyes of a Stranger(8/10)The intro riff is killer.A good song!
10.I'll cry for You(9/10)Dam good instrumental track.
Fans of the 80's will want this album.This is an overlooked piece of good 80's metal!Also I recommend buying every Y&T album that was made before this one.Anything after this album is not good at all,this is their farewll album to me!
