Change of Address (Krokus album)

Change of Address is the ninth studio album by the Swiss hard rock band Krokus, 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.[3] Unsurprisingly, Krokus changed their record label for their next studio album, Heart Attack.

gollark: Because of stupid political stuff nobody seems to actually want to *fix* that sort of problem, and politicians just go "More good things! Less bad things! Outgroup bad!".
gollark: That sounds problematic. I hope it's fixable.
gollark: We know that different genetic variants occur in nature. If you can be sure you're only editing specific bits it's *probably* fine?
