I dunno about Street Hassle. Some of it is misanthropic like the Take No Prisoners album but to the point of being ugly. Stuff like "I Want to be Black" about white guys wanting to be a black stereotype, geez! The first two tracks are big downers as well -- "Don't you know that things always look ugly", "They'd eat shit and say it tasted good if there was some money in it for them..." -- just lyrics quoted from both. There is some excellent stuff on that album of course, not just "Good Time" but of course the really sad title track and also the rarely mentioned "Shooting Star" which I tend to think what glam-rock REALLY should've sounded like...
