Love Is for Suckers is a Twisted Sister album that never really got the attention it deserved. From what I understand, the album was meant to be a Dee Snider solo album but the label insisted it be a Twisted Sister album instead. Don't know all the details. This is the fifth Twisted Sister album and the final studio album before the band split up. Twisted Sister have since reunited, but I don't believe any of the material on this album is ever played live.
The songs on Love Is for Suckers are catchy and most of them have qualities that should have made them hits. Why this didn't happen is beyond me. I can only chalk it up to timing. From the opening swagger of Wake up (The Sleeping Giant) to the driving force of Yeah Right, Love Is for Suckers is an 80s rock classic that still holds up for me today.
My favorite track on the album is Hot Love and this one screams single. Other stand-out tracks include I'm So Hot for You, One Bad Habit, You Are all That I Need, and the title track, Love Is for Suckers. A re-release of the album came that featured four additional songs.
Twisted Sister have had their share of ups and downs, bad press, and naysayers, but the band is still around and still pumping it up. Love Is for Suckers is still a very cool album with the iconic Twisted Sister sound, although maybe a little more polished than other efforts, and definitely worth a listen.
