There were a couple of
Nasty Habits running amok in the '80s, and though I'm fairly confident this one hailed from America, just not sure where as no correspondence address was provided. This one falls more on the trad-rock/AOR end of the spectrum, but the gritty, leadoff "Can't Help Wondering" isn't far removed from the likes of The Neighborhoods and Too Much Joy. "Lonely Tonight," the records token ballad doesn't resort to anything cringy, it just doesn't particularly move me. "You Keep Me Loaded" indulges in some blustery guitar lines, but at the end of the day Nasty Habits aren't reinventing much of anything here.
This wax was subsequently packaged in a completely different black and white sleeve, playing up what little glam-rock bona fides this quartet may have possessed. It appears that guitarist Jonathan Hale Lacey eventually migrated to the full fledged alt-metal outfit The Beautiful, who I also had some appreciation for back in the day.
