X: Wild Gift 12"
“For 1985’s Ain’t Love Grand , the most noticeable difference is in the production. Renown heavy metal producer Michael Wagener was on board (whose credits include Motley Crue and Great White), replacing longtime X ally Ray Manzerek. As usual, the songwriting and performances shine, but the raw sound of their earlier work is noticeably absent — instead of changing his approach for X, Wagener produced them as he would a metal band of the ’80s, smoothing out the rough edges. Still, the band scored perhaps their biggest radio and MTV hit ever with “Burning House of Love,” and they composed such other highlights as “What’s Wrong With Me,” “All or Nothing,” and “My Soul Cries Your Name.” – G.
