The lyrics from \u201cWrecking Ball\u201d (not a Miley Cyrus cover) ask, \u201cTake it off\u201d and you can\u2019t help but imagine a young Cherie Currie repeating the same lyric over and over again, too.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, while the live aspect may not be for everyone, it\u2019s a polished live set to say the least, and this is partly due to Change of Heart\u2019s Ian Burton, who oversaw the operation and arrangement of the songs. <em>Girls, Like Wolves<\/em> highlights include \u201cWrecking Ball\u201d, and \u201cLook at you (baby look at you)\u201d\u2014a fast-paced, and saucily executed song where Louie\u2019s vocals growl through the chorus. However, \u201cSong 10\u201d, a slow and earthy tune doesn\u2019t quite fit in with the rest of the album and it evoked a sense of sleepiness that belies how fun and cheeky the rest of the album is. While I enjoyed listening to the album, the live sound made me wish I could see it live in concert instead. It ended up as a distracting characteristic of the album and one I wouldn\u2019t recommend again.
