The band's blues roots crop up on "Out Go the Lights," the album's most emblematic moment. With Tyler at his sleaziest ("liquor in the front, poker in the back," anyone?), the band vamps hard behind him, but not too hard. Perry churns out some inspired guitar licks, and female backup singers add some sauce on the chorus. Then, after four minutes, Joey Kramer pounds out a drum beat that leads to something terrific: The song settles into a deep groove that unfurls for another two-and-a-half minutes.
