First of all I just want to say that Racer X is one of my favorite bands of all time.I have all of their albums and all of them rock.Personally my favorites are Technical Difficulties,SuperHeroes and Second Heat. Even though Getting Heavier doesn't rank up there with the classics,it's far from being a bad album. Songs like Heaven in 74,Dr. X,and Lucifers Hammer just rock.The album in general ain't that bad but nothing really stands out.Most of the songs on the CD are B-sides songs.They're okay but in general the album fails to grab the listener by the throat.
