Two Steps from the Move is the fifth studio album by Finnish rockers Hanoi Rocks, produced by the legendary Bob Ezrin (Alice Cooper, KISS, Lou Reed). This fast and furious album opens with CCR cover "Up Around the Bend" and is filled with their biggest hits with song writing assistance from Ian Hunter of Mott the Hoople on such tracks as "Underwater World" and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams". Poised for world domination, the band never recovered after losing their drummer, Razzle, in a fatal car crash. Innovative, yet often overlooked, Hanoi Rocks' career was cut short at a pivotal moment on their rise to stardom.
"Had Razzle not died so tragically, there's every reason to believe that Hanoi Rocks could easily have taken things to the next level of hard rock glory. As it is, Two Steps from the Move will have to remain a testimony to what might have been instead of a further springboard... In terms of combining the attitude, gang shouts, punk energy, and classic rock burn of the band, things couldn't be better -- Monroe sounds phenomenal, the McCoy/Suicide guitar team comes up with some great riffs and even better trade-offs, and the Yaffa/Razzle rhythm section keep it all chugging. Highlights: 'Boiler,' a perfectly saucy tale about one's lady love using a bit of Brit slang, the heavy-duty strut and stomp of 'I Can't Get It,' the tearjerker-with-feedback 'Don't You Ever Leave Me,' and 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams,'" as perfect a neo-Mott the Hoople anthem as any." - AllMusic
