The Killer Dwarfs' second album is completely typical of pop metal in 1986: it's a slick, empty, big-haired absurdity -- a spoof of heavy metal itself, which was starting to tire and splinter in the mid-'80s.
Granted, the Dwarfs were not a serious band, so it seems fitting that this album, with bland, forgettable tracks like "Through Animal Eyes" and "Bite the Hand that Feeds," invokes smirks and rolling of the eyes.
Stand Tall has a few listenable tunes ("Keep the Spirit Alive" and the title track -- both of which were played on MTV) but overall the album fails to maintain any dignity, and it had no long-lasting effect in metal -- even in its native Canada.
