Review

After the loud and energetic outfit had their single mega-hit years earlier with Headhunter, Krokus released Change of Address. While artists like Bon Jovi and Def Leppard were re-categorizing metal during the mid-'80s, and the genre suddenly gained a huge mainstream audience thereby creating a commercial opportunity, Krokus, among others, abandoned their heavier musical roots. The resulting power chord pop on records like Change of Address was pretty typical of the era. ~ Vincent Jeffries, All Music Guide

Change of Address is Krokus' ninth album, and is largely seen to be their least successful. It has been described as "plainly one of the worst efforts" from Krokus[1], and the band's website claims that they and their musical style were put under too much pressure from their record company[2]. Unsurprisingly, Krokus changed their record label for their next studio album, Heart Attack.
