Following up the worldwide success of 'Trash' was never going to be easy and while 'Hey Stoopid' didn't manage to to hit those heights it's by far the better album. While the Desmond Child influence is still on show songs like 'Dangerous Tonight', 'Little By Little' and 'Die For You' are better then almost anything on 'Trash' and 'Might As Well Be On Mars' or 'Wind Up Toy' are up there as classics in their own right. Sometimes overlooked, maybe because the precceding album was so huge, 'Hey Stoopid' could be said to be the one that SHOULD have been the big hit.
